He was completely at a loss, and could not recall the legal knowledge he had learned. He just cooperated with the police's investigation word by word.
Even though he called the police, Lu Wu still picked up the landline at home and immediately dialed the Huai'an Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He quickly conveyed the order into the microphone, urging the team leader to take the nearest patrolman and rush to the scene immediately.
After giving the order, he ran out of the house immediately, and quickly said to Bai Ming: "Little assistant, don't be afraid, I will be there soon, I just told the police nearby, they are nearby, and they are also looking at you Hurry up, don't worry, if you are afraid, don't hang up, let's chat, okay?"
Lu Wu is extremely patient, as if comforting a victim who has suffered a huge psychological trauma.
Bai Ming pressed the back of his aching head and replied weakly: "Thank you, Officer Lu."
"Would you like to tell me how you found the corpse?" Lu Wu didn't notice the little assistant's strangeness, so he just laughed and asked again.
Bai Ming looked at the slightly cracked skull, and then at the right hand he just touched. He curled up and explained the process in detail.
When people are vulnerable, they will always tell each other frankly, wishing that the more they say, the more they can release the anxiety in their hearts.
Lu Wu listened carefully. He seemed to have noticed Bai Ming's uncomfortable voice. Presumably he didn't want to talk about this process anymore. He rushed into the underground garage, started his black car, and changed the subject, "What did the little assistant do today?" ah?"
Bai Ming panted, and resentfully said: "I just did the cleaning today, and now I did it for nothing."
Lu Wu laughed, "You really love to be clean, there are not many people as clean as you."
Several noises came from the receiver, and Bai Ming asked tentatively, "Officer Lu, are you driving with one hand? It's too dangerous. I'd better hang up first. Don't drive too fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pain in his head became more and more intense. He seemed to feel that the hidden disease he left behind when he was a child was attacking again. He beat his head lightly, and then slowly raised his head, only to see a skeleton beside the skull. Formation, just like the skeleton monster full of special effects in the movie.
The monster didn't have a skull, and it walked on the spot. It gave a sinister smile, and then disappeared like the wind.
This scene made Bai Ming stunned. After the skeleton completely dissipated, he felt a splitting headache. The phone slipped from the sofa. He held his head in his hands, as if a short blade pierced through his brain, cutting through every corner along the way. a nerve.
"It's okay, I'll be there soon." Lu Wu was still comforting, only to hear a harsh scream from the phone, and he was also stunned, his pupils dilated.
In an instant, panic was like a huge wave, drowning all his emotions. He squinted his eyes, stepped on the gas pedal, and hurriedly shouted, "Little assistant! What's wrong! What happened?"
Bai Ming was in excruciating pain, his hair was soaked with sweat dripping from his forehead, and he rolled on the sofa repeatedly, screaming hoarsely.
This sound was like a steel bar, piercing Lu Wu's heart hard. The scream became smaller and smaller, as if he had no strength, and finally fell into a deep silence. Cutting in line from left to right, "Little Assistant! Bai Ming!"
Bai Ming's pale face was contorted, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his lower lip was bitten red, he was panting and sweating profusely, as if his soul had been stripped from his body, and he couldn't exert any strength.
The pain was beyond words, but fortunately, the torture only lasted for a moment, his consciousness gradually recovered, and his beating nerves also stabilized. He opened his eyes slightly, only to feel that the strong light was dazzling like a sharp sword, and the whole world returned to its original state. Colors, and the screen of the mobile phone was also shining on the floor, and one after another worried cries came from the other end, and the content of the cries was exactly my name.
Bai Ming picked up the phone vigorously, and said softly: "Officer Lu, I, I'm fine, I've made an old mistake again, don't worry."
When Lu Wu heard his voice again, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said firmly, "I'll be right there!"
This phone call is like a high-hanging bright light, shining a tiny light in the absolute darkness, giving Bai Ming's devastated heart the most generous comfort.
Misfortunes never come singly, the wind blew through the hall, the curtains danced, the room was filled with coolness, permeating Bai Ming's thin clothes, he couldn't help trembling again, and when he looked up, the skeleton appeared again at the door of the bedroom, it had passed extremely quickly. The speed rushed towards the sofa, the arms stretched freely like a propeller, almost choking Bai Ming's neck.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up, trembling with his legs, he couldn't stabilize his body and fell to the ground, but he didn't care about other things, he stood up immediately while holding the coffee table, and when he looked back, the monster on the sofa was completely gone.
Bai Ming almost collapsed, his mind was still confused, that evil spirit was everywhere at the moment, it was in the pipe, it was under the bed, it was in the crack of the door, and it would appear behind him with its mouth open.
The night wind was blowing, and he shuddered. The phone held tightly in his hand seemed to be the most powerful weapon to kill the ghost. It seemed that as long as he heard Lu Wu's voice, the skeleton would not dare to approach.
It is not advisable to sit and wait for death, so he picked up his coat, rushed out the door, and ran away.
He rushed up to the elevator, clung to the handrail with one hand, and frantically pressed the button of the elevator with the other. When the door closed, he leaned against the corner, squatting tremblingly on the ground. He had obviously run a few steps. But out of breath.
"Little assistant! Don't be afraid! Wait for me for another 2 minutes! No! 1 minute!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was intermittent, and finally there was no sound at all. Bai Ming knew that there was no signal in the elevator.
He looked up at the top of the elevator car, afraid that the monster would crawl out of the elevator shaft, open the elevator door, and tear him apart.
He watched the number of elevator floors decrease one by one, as if a century had passed.
The elevator dinged and arrived at the first floor. Bai Ming rushed out of the unit and ran towards the courtyard trembling.
The night was dark and the clouds were gloomy. Several small buildings were like giants of judgment, surrounding Bai Ming, and the surroundings were pitch black. There was no passerby, and even the street lights couldn't shine into this dilapidated and gloomy neighborhood.
He ran quickly, his coat puffed up against the wind, and when he looked down, the screen of the phone was still on. He was secretly delighted. It turned out that even if the signal was interrupted, Lu Wu did not hang up the phone. Ghost, he still has a chance.
The mobile phone recovered the signal again. Lu Wu heard Bai Ming's panting voice and asked anxiously, "Little assistant! Why don't you talk? Did something happen to you?"
Bai Ming picked up his mobile phone and was about to answer when, under the ever-bright moonlight, willows brushed against his face, carrying a scent of leaves and itching, at the corner of Qingshiban Road, a tall and familiar figure appeared at the end of his sight. figure.
After Lu Wu parked the car outside the gate of the community, he ran towards the inside with all his strength. He saw Bai Ming wearing a coat under a few willows from a distance, standing there sluggishly. Dotted with bright stars, he was casting all his expectant eyes on himself. He was in a trance for a moment, slowed down, and approached slowly.
The moon and stars were sparse, and the faint light of the mobile phone was reflected on Lu Wu's face. Bai Ming was stunned, and saw Lu Wu's eyes were warm, as if covering thousands of miles of mountains and seas, and filled the whole world. In the hazy moonlight, he was still laughing at himself, but no matter what he was laughing at, Bai Ming was no longer afraid.
At that moment, thousands of moonlight poured into the world, and the cool wind slowed down. Bai Ming's star-like eyes reflected the moonlight, and under the moonlight, the figure rushing towards him, he watched Lu Wu approaching step by step, as if A yellow talisman of a Taoist priest cut off hundreds of thousands of evil spirits in the world who came to him.
Lu Wu hung up the call, he stepped forward, lowered his head, helped Bai Ming wrap his coat tightly, and spoke slowly, his tone was gentle, like a piece of brocade, like a ten-mile spring breeze, he smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here .”
Like a ray of dawn breaking through the boundless night, hope burned blazingly in Bai Ming's heart.
Bai Ming felt dizzy in his head, and his feet softened accordingly. His tense body finally lost his strength and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lu Wu reacted quickly, and quickly reached out to support him. He gritted his teeth and regained his strength. stand up.
He raised his head, the scene in front of him became slightly blurred, the moon became two rounds, and there were a few more willows, but Lu Wu was alone.
A few police cars with high beams also stopped not far away. The lights of the police cars hit Lu Wu behind. His figure blocked the glare of the headlights for Bai Ming. Lu Wu was one step late.
Lu Wu looked at the cell phone that Bai Ming was holding tightly. His arm was tightly supporting Bai Ming, as if the electric pile was replenishing his energy. He still smiled and asked, "Why didn't you talk just now?"
Bai Ming blinked flickeringly, those brows and eyes were the only organs in his body that still had aura, his arms were hanging down weakly, and he said with all his strength: "In the elevator, there is no, no signal."
Seeing that he had no extra strength, Lu Wu said, "Can you still go? How about I carry you up?"
"No, no, no..." Bai Ming quickly rebuffed, "I understand this disease, I was born with it, and it will be cured in a while."
After speaking, he took two steps on the spot to show that he was fine. Lu Wu smiled lightly, then raised his head, withdrew his smile, and looked behind him seriously, with a majestic momentum that was not angry.
A group of police came trotting over, and the man at the head had a strong aura, but he was a bit dwarfed by Lu Wu's standing. The man's eyes were deep and sharp. He was as young as Lu Wu, but half a head shorter in height. However, compared with Lu Wu's majestic and dignified appearance, he looks more aggressive and irritable.
The man stepped forward, sized Bai Ming up, and then greeted him: "Captain Lu, you're here too."
Lu Wu was unsmiling, just hummed, and then turned around and introduced: "Little assistant, this is the captain of the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau's Huai'an Branch, Zhou Liang."
It turned out that they were Lu Wu's subordinates. Although they were not direct subordinates, Zhou Liang was overwhelmed by the difference between city and district levels.
Bai Ming stretched out a hand and said with a slight smile, "Hello, Police Officer Zhou. My name is Bai Ming. Coincidentally, I also belong to Huai'an District. I work in Huai'an Court."
Zhou Liang shook hands with him lightly, not wanting to exchange pleasantries, and said, "Stop talking, let's go straight to the topic of tonight."
15. Borrow
The cicadas sing closely, and the tall buildings hold the moon in the wind of willows.
The elevator outside the door dinged, attracting the attention of everyone in the house.
Lin Jiang rushed in, looking left and right, and saw that the small and dilapidated room was full of people in police uniforms, only two of them were dressed casually, standing out from the crowd, and one was sitting on the sofa, Wearing a jacket and holding a glass of water, another person stood aside, with sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, high-spirited.
This made his eyes fix on Bai Ming in a second, and he was about to enter the house when someone stopped him with his hand.
"Who are you? Please don't step into the scene of the murder." Zhou Liang's tone was indifferent, but with a bit of authority.
With a smile on his brows, Bai Ming immediately stood up from the sofa, the clothes on his shoulders slipped down, walked over in two steps, and said with a smile, "You're here!"
Seeing this, Lu Wu winked at Zhou Liang, signaling him to let go.
Without hindrance, Lin Jiang grabbed Bai Ming's arm, glanced up and down, and said anxiously: "You know what? I'm about to be scared to death by you."
Bai Ming's smile was like a flood of flood gates, and he couldn't stop it, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made you worry, come in and sit down."
Seeing that he was unharmed, Lin Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, punched him on the shoulder, and then walked into the room with him, and said a little angrily: "You still have the face to smile, everyone says you're skinny Paper is thin, thicker than city walls in my opinion.”
After all, he glanced at this small rented house, which he didn't want to come to from the bottom of his heart. At the beginning, he tried his best to dissuade Bai Ming from living here and think twice, but now his words seem to have come to light, one murder case is not enough , came out for the second time.
Under the dripping air conditioner, he saw the skeleton that had been removed by the police, and the chill came over him with just one glance. He shivered, turned his back quickly, and pointed at the invisible thing behind him, Said: "This is the corpse you said?"
Bai Ming nodded and replied: "Yes."
Lin Jiang's expression was indescribable, and he said again: "This is too intrusive, you, aren't you fainted by fright?"
Bai Ming whispered, "Almost."
Seeing that the two were chatting very happily, Lu Wu temporarily put down the forensic investigation in his hands. He walked slowly and stood aside. The three of them stood in a row from high to low like mobile data signals.
Lu Wu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "You are Lin Jiang, right? Hello, my name is Lu Wu."
Bai Ming was taken aback. The policeman's observation and judgment should not be underestimated. He had never called Lin Jiang by his name, and Lu Wu had only heard the name once, but he could only rely on the actions and words between him and Lin Jiang. , can be recognized at a glance.
This sudden greeting caught Lin Jiang off guard. It turned out that the man standing in front of him was the policeman Bai Ming had mentioned. He also stretched out his hand and shook Lu Wu twice in a daze.
The atmosphere was a bit delicate, Bai Ming hurriedly squeezed between the two, and introduced: "Ah! Officer Lu, this is Lin Jiang, my roommate from college, and my best friend."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and continued: "Lin Jiang, this is the Deputy Chief of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Police Officer Lu Wulu."
Fortunately, Lin Jiang is a lively person. With him around, the atmosphere will definitely not cool down. He took over the conversation and said, "This is Police Officer Lu Wu. I have heard Bai Ming mention it for a long time."
This was a polite remark, but Lu Wu turned to look at Bai Ming, "Really? How did the little assistant mention me?"
Bai Ming was stunned, the past was vivid in his mind, he turned his back to Lu Wu, and frantically gave Lin Jiang winks, if the old things were brought up again, his body would be like a bubble, and it would shatter at the touch.
Based on Lin Jiang's understanding of him for many years, he knew Bai Ming's thoughts at a glance, snickered, and said in a strange way: "Can you explain clearly? What else can he say, just say that he is very honored to meet Police Officer Lu Wu , he is tall and handsome, and he always helps me, what a nice guy!"
As soon as these words came out, all the policemen in the room stopped their work.
The tone of these words does not seem to be what Bai Ming can say. He is like an ice sculpture at the moment, his whole body is frozen in place, and the embarrassment seems to seep into the blood and rush into the brain, making him blush. He secretly thought, if he just said To be honest, it might not be so embarrassing.
Lu Wu had already caught Lin Jiang's micro expression at a glance, smiled softly, patted Bai Ming's back with his palm, and asked jokingly, "Really, little assistant?"
This palm was very light, but Bai Ming felt it was too heavy to bear.
He was sandwiched between the two, looking at Lin Jiang who was holding back his laughter, and hearing the provocative tone of the man behind him, he turned around slowly, swallowed, laughed dryly, looked up at Lu Wu, After holding back two words for a long time, "Yes, yes."
But Lu Wu said: "This doesn't seem like something you would say."
"Why doesn't it look like that?" Lin Jiang chuckled and folded his hands in front of him, "Then what does Police Officer Lu Wu think he will say?"
Lu Wu raised his chin with his hand, pretended to think, and replied: "Little assistant, you should be able to describe in detail what happened on the day of the seminar."
Lin Jiang exclaimed as if singing an opera: "The police officer really knows things like a god!"
The two sang together, but their eyes fell on Bai Ming's face from the beginning to the end. He just wanted to close his eyes and fall to the ground.
But he couldn't, he could only laugh intermittently, and didn't dare to look at anyone, "There is no air conditioner in the room, it's a bit hot, I, I'll go open the window to get some air."
He lowered his head and didn't take two steps, only to see a pair of shoes in front of him. When he raised his head, Zhou Liangzheng said coldly: "In order to protect the scene, please don't walk around casually. Besides, you can't live here temporarily. Tonight we Clues such as fingerprints and footprints will be collected overnight, and your landlord will be summoned, so you can sleep with me in the inquiry room of the Huai'an Sub-bureau tonight."
"Now?" Bai Ming was taken aback, and took two steps back.
"No need..." Lu Wu flatly rejected this "invitation", "If you don't mind the little assistant, you can live with me first, it's also close to the Huai'an Court, and second, it's convenient for me to ask in person."
"Team Lu, the Municipal Bureau has so many cases that need your attention, so let me handle this matter. After all, this is the area under the jurisdiction of the Huai'an Sub-bureau."
Zhou Liang stood in front of Bai Ming, the black projection was like a curtain at the end of a drama, "Bai Ming, come with me."
"Then go tomorrow..." Lu Wu stopped in a cold voice. He knew how uncomfortable the bed in the Public Security Bureau was, so he turned his head and said softly, "The little assistant has been cleaning for a day. I think I'm exhausted. If You don't want to live with me, during the period when the house is locked, you can stay in a hotel near my house first, and I will pay the price."
After hearing this, Zhou Liang rubbed his forehead, he couldn't continue to contradict him, he didn't expect that Bai Ming in front of him would have such a big backer.
"What hotel are you staying in?" Lin Jiang heard that this rare opportunity was in front of him, and immediately said, "Stay at my house! My parents must be very happy."
Lu Wu said again: "If you don't live in a hotel, I have several rooms where you can live. And my house is next to the cake shop where you work. It's very convenient to come back at night. I can also drive you to the court during the day."
"I can also deliver! I will send you to work in the morning, and come to Huashirahama to pick you up in the evening. Cars will pick you up, rain or shine!"
The two in front of him were just joking with each other just now, and now they are like two immature children fighting for a toy. Bai Ming's eyes linger between the two, but he doesn't think he and Lu Wu are familiar enough to live together. No matter how far Lin Jiang lives, he still prefers the friends he has known for many years.
"Thank you Officer Lu for your kindness. I'll stay with Lin Jiang."
Lin Jiang clenched his fist in one hand and put on a victorious posture, "Let's go, let me help you pack your luggage."
Lu Wu's expression was slightly disappointed, but he had no choice. He knew Bai Ming's concerns, so he nodded in agreement.
Soon everyone began to tidy up. Although Bai Ming repeatedly rejected everyone's kindness, Lu Wu refused to listen and continued to help. Under the order of the deputy detachment leader, other policemen dared not refuse to listen.
The division of labor was clear, Bai Ming came to pack his things, Lu Wu, Zhou Liang and other policemen moved them downstairs, and Lin Jiang put them in his car.
Fortunately, after tidying up in the afternoon, coupled with the strength of the large number of people, the room became empty in a short while.
At the end, Zhou Liang and the rest of the police stayed at the scene, while Lin Jiang waited in the car. Lu Wu picked up the last big box and sent Bai Ming to the gate of the community.
Compared with this policeman, the short Bai Ming is only carrying a light schoolbag, which contains his daily record notebooks. The white moon shines brightly, smudges the ink-like night sky, and creates ripples in the world.
Bai Ming said, "I'm sorry Officer Lu, I've been bothering you on the big weekend."
Lu Wu grinned and said generously, "No, it's all trivial."
Bumping into Wanfeng's embrace head-on, Lu Wu saw that the little assistant remained silent, and continued: "If, if you're not used to living here, you can still move to my place."
Bai Ming nodded, thinking it was just a scene, and replied: "Thank you, officer."
Lu Wu laughed again: "You are still so polite, we are friends, have you forgotten?"
A friend, a friend with two ribs.
Seeing the two approaching, Lin Jiang quickly opened the car door, took the last big box, and said with a tired face, "You really have a lot of things."
Bai Ming sat in the co-pilot, opened the window, and waved goodbye: "Officer Lu, go back quickly, you have worked hard today."
Lu Wu smiled again, like a willow branch blown by the wind, "Don't worry about it here, I'll go and see their progress, it still depends on our criminal police."
The car started slowly, and picked up speed after a few seconds. Lu Wu looked at the luxury sports car that was fading away, and when he completely disappeared from sight, he turned around and walked towards the rental house.
The air conditioner in the car was turned on very loudly, Lin Jiang asked suspiciously: "This Lu Wu is really kind to you, he dares to compete with me for important people, and he doesn't even look at the relationship between us, do you have something against him? ?”
Bai Ming has thought about this question thousands of times in his heart, but he has no way of knowing. If Lu Wu is gentle, he still looks majestic and sharp when dealing with work and others, but he has a unique side when dealing with himself. With a wry smile, he said, "How can there be a handle? He is very nice, and everyone likes him."
Lin Jiang retorted: "Everyone likes him, but it's not that he likes everyone. Now it's obvious that he cares about you. Would he also invite other homeless people in the bureau to live in his house?"
Bai Ming: "..."
He rubbed his nose lightly, and pushed up the air-conditioning fan blades, "Actually, I don't know what, I've obviously never seen him, but he gave me a very familiar feeling."
"Familiar?" Lin Jiang exclaimed suddenly, causing Bai Ming to shiver in fright, "He won't have other plans for you, will he?"
Bai Ming really can't think of what else he has to gain, money, position, family, he has nothing, he sighed helplessly, and said: "I have nothing, nothing else is not worth it."
"You look good..." Lin Jiang clicked his tongue twice, seeing that Bai Ming was in a trance, he withdrew his unscrupulous smile again, "It's such a big deal, are you still going to work tomorrow? Why don't you go to work for two days?" Take sick leave and rest."
Bai Ming immediately came back to his senses, how can this busy world make people immersed in bitterness all the time, he shook his head and raised the corner of his mouth, "No, this is not very serious, I can bear it, I can't just fall into it because of the blooming season If it rains, I will no longer care about any gardens, enjoy the flowers, and live my life in the same way.”
This confidence made Lin Jiang glance sideways at the people beside him, Bai Ming's smile was faintly visible in the passing dim lights, as if he had never experienced strong winds and waves, and was as pure as a piece of white paper.
The car drove for a long time, and after crossing two large districts, it slowly arrived at the suburbs of Jiangzhou. What caught Bai Ming's eyes was a three-storey villa with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The tall steps, the half-octagonal viewing bay windows, and the floor-to-ceiling glass reflecting the light spots all look elegant and luxurious from the outside.
This was the first time he came to Lin Jiang's house. Before, he only knew that Lin Jiang's family was in the real estate business, and he was a son who had no worries about food and clothing. But now he realized that he still underestimated the economic strength of Lin Jiang's family.
"My parents' bedroom is on the third floor on the east side, and the two of us live on the second floor on the west side. There is an empty room next to my house. The nanny and auntie cleaned it up a few weeks ago, and have been waiting for you to come and live when you are free. Tell me, treat this as our school dormitory."
While talking, Lin Jiang parked the car outside the gate of the villa. Compared with this big house, this luxury sports car that ordinary people can't afford seems a bit low-end.
Lin Jiang's parents heard the sound of the car, opened the three-person-high main door, and warmly welcomed Bai Ming under the dazzling crystal chandelier, especially Lin Jiang's mother, who gave him a hug without saying a word. Bai Ming was caught off guard and almost fell into his body, "Mingming, I heard Lin Jiang mention you a long time ago. Auntie just saw you today. It's windy outside, come in quickly."
Seeing that Bai Ming seemed to be still thinking about those luggage, she pulled him into the palace-like hall, "Let Lin Jiang and his father come over for this kind of thing, I just made some desserts, I heard you are in the cake shop Go to work, come and help auntie to taste how it is made."
This graceful woman is extremely cheerful, without any pretensions of a wealthy wife. She pulls Bai Ming to ask her about her health, and Bai Ming realizes that the reason why Lin Jiang has such a carefree personality is because his family is warm and open, which cultivates his personality. Lin Jiang, who is extroverted.
Bai Ming is like a camellia in the wild. After being discovered, it was moved into a greenhouse, carefully cared for, and watered day and night.
Before going upstairs, Lin Jiang's mother still refused to let go, and said in a voice: "Obviously, treat this as your own home, don't be restrained, and tell us if you feel uncomfortable."
Lin Jiang also echoed, "My parents were very happy when they heard that you were coming. They've been bored with me for a long time, and they also like to be lively. When they heard that you lived in the rented house on Changchun Road, they even scolded me. I paused and asked why I didn't let you live here, now it's all right, go around and live here, you, you can't escape."
Bai Ming smiled slightly, and replied, "Uncle and aunt are so warm, they made me feel at home as soon as I came here."
The moonlight is like broken silver, and the sound of insects is like drizzle. This misty midsummer night looks like crumpled navy blue brocade, and smells like burnt green mint leaves, eye-catching and deep, fiery and fresh.
Especially when the city has been baked for a whole day and almost melted into the beautiful night, the interweaving of wind and moon is just like the sweet rain after a long drought, dripping on the clothes.
In order to fulfill his promise, Lin Jiang got up early on Monday morning. If it were this time on weekdays, he would still be sound asleep at home.
Before departure, Bai Ming received a summons from the police. He knew that the police were going to question him about the skeleton case in the rented house. He asked Zheng Ye for a day off, took Lin Jiang's car and went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
The courtyard of the Public Security Bureau was full of magnolias, but he didn't have time to stop and admire them. He had just stepped into the lobby on the first floor, and Wang Qian was already waiting there.
Wang Qian walked towards him and said with a smile, "Bai Ming, you are here."
Bai Ming nodded and asked, "Good morning, Officer Wang, are you waiting for me here?"
Wang Qian replied: "That's right, senior brother came early in the morning and asked me to pick you up here."
This salary is really high, Bai Ming is just an ordinary informant, yet someone came to lead the way.
Going up the stairs to the second floor and turning right, he suddenly remembered that Lu Wu said in the cake that the office of the detachment leader is on the right turn on the second floor.
This is not the direction to the inquiry room.
He was puzzled. Just as he was about to ask the guide, he saw Wang Qian stop. He glanced at the sign above his head, which said "Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment". As expected, this is Lu Wu office.
"Senior brother asked you to wait for him here. He has gone to the morning meeting and will be here soon."
Bai Ming nodded obediently, walked slowly, and stepped into the house, while Wang Qian behind him closed the door and left.
He is next to the door of the house, which is also an office. This place is completely different from Zheng Ye's European-style cottage. The room is large, but low-key and simple. , the upper part of the wall is painted white, and the lower part is painted green. The wall is covered with pennants sent by the public. Under the pennants are a row of wooden cabinets filled with books and files. A water dispenser is inlaid between the cabinets. , there is a black leather couch for receiving guests by the door.
The sun shines on a row of window sills, and the lush magnolia tree stretches into its arms from the window. Bai Ming sits on the sofa and turns his gaze to the table. On the main table is an old computer, a telephone, a teapot, and the teapot With a few wisps of hot smoke, apart from the scent of flowers, the room is filled with the slightly bitter smell of dried leaves.
The most attractive thing is the piles of commendation letters randomly placed. It seems that Lu Wu has received too many and doesn't care about such things. Bai Ming thinks carefully, if he can get one, he will be happy for a long time.
His thoughts were disturbed by the sound of footsteps outside. He immediately sat up straight and tidied up his clothes. Five or six policemen including Zhou Liang, all wearing police uniforms and caps, walked into the house together.
Bai Ming took a deep breath, usually only asked two or three people, this battle made him feel that something was wrong.
16. Reversal
"Little assistant, you are here." Lu Wuben had a sullen face, and suddenly saw the person sitting in the room, and immediately smiled.
This little assistant made people who didn't know Bai Ming think that Bai Ming was the police assistant of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau.
The room was bright and silent, except for the sound of footsteps, only Bai Ming's rapid breathing. He quickly stood up from the sofa and greeted: "Officer Lu, Officer Zhou, good morning, officers."
"Morning." Lu Wu was still the only one who responded. He strode to the main table and sat down on the chair, as if sinking into the soft cushion. He poured himself a cup of tea, and the hot tea fell into the cup. The tone changes from low to high, like the whistle of blowing leaves.
The rest of the police stood in the room, and everyone looked the judge's assistant up and down. The close and sharp eyes made Bai Ming feel really uncomfortable. He stood where he was, forced a smile on his face.
Lu Wu glanced over here, and explained: "Sit down, assistant, I just went to a morning meeting, and I came a little late."
With this group of policemen standing in front of him, it was hard for Bai Ming to just sit down. He still kept his standing posture, clasped his hands together, hanging in front of his body, an inexplicable tension radiated from head to toe, and said slowly: " Did Police Officer Lu summon me?"
Lu Wu hummed, took a sip of his tea, and pointed to the policemen standing beside him, "Don't be afraid, I'm just here to ask some questions."
The leader, Zhou Liang, was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand. He walked towards Bai Ming slowly, and landed on the ground step by step. This was in sync with the ticking sound of the second hand of the clock. The feeling of oppression was like a building that was about to collapse. He stopped in front of Bai Ming, and showed his ID card from his jacket pocket.
Zhou Liang, head of the criminal investigation team of Huai'an Branch of Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau.
Bai Ming already knew this identity, but he understood that this was a necessary procedure for questioning.
Zhou Liang asked: "Bai Ming, male, 23 years old, graduate of the Law Department of Jiangzhou University, right?"
"it's me."
Zhou Liang looked solemn, and continued to ask: "Do you know Wei Feng?"
Wei Feng, that murderer, the name made Bai Ming's heart tremble. Whether it was hijacking or visiting the prison, it left a big shadow on him. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "I know, I know."
"I didn't know each other before, yes, I just met." Acquaintance doesn't mean being an acquaintance, Bai Ming immediately took over the words just now, because of hastily clearing things up, his words became scarce for a while, seeing Zhou Liang's suspicious eyes, he couldn't think To come up with a better method of justification, the description will only get darker and darker.
Zhou Liang said with a blank face, "We did a preliminary investigation on the corpse. The deceased was a woman, about 23 years old, and the time of death was about five years ago. We compared all the cases reported five years ago. The missing person, but the corresponding person has not been found, and the identity of the deceased cannot be verified at present.”
After listening to this series of reports, Bai Ming was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Zhou Liang continued: "According to your landlord's testimony, the last tenant was He Qing, who moved in five years ago, and was unfortunately killed on Canglan Road not long after, so no one has lived in that house for five years. ?"
"Yes." Bai Ming replied.
"We found several fingerprints in the ventilation duct. The fingerprints pointed to two people. The first fingerprint was stained not long ago, so we can temporarily rule out the suspicion, while the second one should have been left over from a long time ago. We Comparing all the personnel in the database of the Public Security Bureau, the second suspect that can be accurately pointed to is Wei Feng."
It was Wei Feng again. Hearing this, Bai Ming suddenly realized.
Wei Feng once told Bai Ming in prison that he left a gift.
It turned out that Bai Ming had already received this meeting gift.
He couldn't help shivering, then raised his head and asked, "So the first fingerprint is mine?"
Zhou Liang nodded, "Yes."
Bai Ming simply said "Oh", it turned out that on a certain day five years ago, Wei Feng was the same as him, standing under the air conditioner in that room, tremblingly leaning on the chair, and stuffing the corpse into it.
But fortunately, the Skynet is fully restored, and even though Wei Feng handles his crime carefully, Bai Ming will still find out after five years.
week
Even though he called the police, Lu Wu still picked up the landline at home and immediately dialed the Huai'an Branch of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. He quickly conveyed the order into the microphone, urging the team leader to take the nearest patrolman and rush to the scene immediately.
After giving the order, he ran out of the house immediately, and quickly said to Bai Ming: "Little assistant, don't be afraid, I will be there soon, I just told the police nearby, they are nearby, and they are also looking at you Hurry up, don't worry, if you are afraid, don't hang up, let's chat, okay?"
Lu Wu is extremely patient, as if comforting a victim who has suffered a huge psychological trauma.
Bai Ming pressed the back of his aching head and replied weakly: "Thank you, Officer Lu."
"Would you like to tell me how you found the corpse?" Lu Wu didn't notice the little assistant's strangeness, so he just laughed and asked again.
Bai Ming looked at the slightly cracked skull, and then at the right hand he just touched. He curled up and explained the process in detail.
When people are vulnerable, they will always tell each other frankly, wishing that the more they say, the more they can release the anxiety in their hearts.
Lu Wu listened carefully. He seemed to have noticed Bai Ming's uncomfortable voice. Presumably he didn't want to talk about this process anymore. He rushed into the underground garage, started his black car, and changed the subject, "What did the little assistant do today?" ah?"
Bai Ming panted, and resentfully said: "I just did the cleaning today, and now I did it for nothing."
Lu Wu laughed, "You really love to be clean, there are not many people as clean as you."
Several noises came from the receiver, and Bai Ming asked tentatively, "Officer Lu, are you driving with one hand? It's too dangerous. I'd better hang up first. Don't drive too fast."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pain in his head became more and more intense. He seemed to feel that the hidden disease he left behind when he was a child was attacking again. He beat his head lightly, and then slowly raised his head, only to see a skeleton beside the skull. Formation, just like the skeleton monster full of special effects in the movie.
The monster didn't have a skull, and it walked on the spot. It gave a sinister smile, and then disappeared like the wind.
This scene made Bai Ming stunned. After the skeleton completely dissipated, he felt a splitting headache. The phone slipped from the sofa. He held his head in his hands, as if a short blade pierced through his brain, cutting through every corner along the way. a nerve.
"It's okay, I'll be there soon." Lu Wu was still comforting, only to hear a harsh scream from the phone, and he was also stunned, his pupils dilated.
In an instant, panic was like a huge wave, drowning all his emotions. He squinted his eyes, stepped on the gas pedal, and hurriedly shouted, "Little assistant! What's wrong! What happened?"
Bai Ming was in excruciating pain, his hair was soaked with sweat dripping from his forehead, and he rolled on the sofa repeatedly, screaming hoarsely.
This sound was like a steel bar, piercing Lu Wu's heart hard. The scream became smaller and smaller, as if he had no strength, and finally fell into a deep silence. Cutting in line from left to right, "Little Assistant! Bai Ming!"
Bai Ming's pale face was contorted, his brows were tightly wrinkled, his lower lip was bitten red, he was panting and sweating profusely, as if his soul had been stripped from his body, and he couldn't exert any strength.
The pain was beyond words, but fortunately, the torture only lasted for a moment, his consciousness gradually recovered, and his beating nerves also stabilized. He opened his eyes slightly, only to feel that the strong light was dazzling like a sharp sword, and the whole world returned to its original state. Colors, and the screen of the mobile phone was also shining on the floor, and one after another worried cries came from the other end, and the content of the cries was exactly my name.
Bai Ming picked up the phone vigorously, and said softly: "Officer Lu, I, I'm fine, I've made an old mistake again, don't worry."
When Lu Wu heard his voice again, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said firmly, "I'll be right there!"
This phone call is like a high-hanging bright light, shining a tiny light in the absolute darkness, giving Bai Ming's devastated heart the most generous comfort.
Misfortunes never come singly, the wind blew through the hall, the curtains danced, the room was filled with coolness, permeating Bai Ming's thin clothes, he couldn't help trembling again, and when he looked up, the skeleton appeared again at the door of the bedroom, it had passed extremely quickly. The speed rushed towards the sofa, the arms stretched freely like a propeller, almost choking Bai Ming's neck.
He was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up, trembling with his legs, he couldn't stabilize his body and fell to the ground, but he didn't care about other things, he stood up immediately while holding the coffee table, and when he looked back, the monster on the sofa was completely gone.
Bai Ming almost collapsed, his mind was still confused, that evil spirit was everywhere at the moment, it was in the pipe, it was under the bed, it was in the crack of the door, and it would appear behind him with its mouth open.
The night wind was blowing, and he shuddered. The phone held tightly in his hand seemed to be the most powerful weapon to kill the ghost. It seemed that as long as he heard Lu Wu's voice, the skeleton would not dare to approach.
It is not advisable to sit and wait for death, so he picked up his coat, rushed out the door, and ran away.
He rushed up to the elevator, clung to the handrail with one hand, and frantically pressed the button of the elevator with the other. When the door closed, he leaned against the corner, squatting tremblingly on the ground. He had obviously run a few steps. But out of breath.
"Little assistant! Don't be afraid! Wait for me for another 2 minutes! No! 1 minute!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was intermittent, and finally there was no sound at all. Bai Ming knew that there was no signal in the elevator.
He looked up at the top of the elevator car, afraid that the monster would crawl out of the elevator shaft, open the elevator door, and tear him apart.
He watched the number of elevator floors decrease one by one, as if a century had passed.
The elevator dinged and arrived at the first floor. Bai Ming rushed out of the unit and ran towards the courtyard trembling.
The night was dark and the clouds were gloomy. Several small buildings were like giants of judgment, surrounding Bai Ming, and the surroundings were pitch black. There was no passerby, and even the street lights couldn't shine into this dilapidated and gloomy neighborhood.
He ran quickly, his coat puffed up against the wind, and when he looked down, the screen of the phone was still on. He was secretly delighted. It turned out that even if the signal was interrupted, Lu Wu did not hang up the phone. Ghost, he still has a chance.
The mobile phone recovered the signal again. Lu Wu heard Bai Ming's panting voice and asked anxiously, "Little assistant! Why don't you talk? Did something happen to you?"
Bai Ming picked up his mobile phone and was about to answer when, under the ever-bright moonlight, willows brushed against his face, carrying a scent of leaves and itching, at the corner of Qingshiban Road, a tall and familiar figure appeared at the end of his sight. figure.
After Lu Wu parked the car outside the gate of the community, he ran towards the inside with all his strength. He saw Bai Ming wearing a coat under a few willows from a distance, standing there sluggishly. Dotted with bright stars, he was casting all his expectant eyes on himself. He was in a trance for a moment, slowed down, and approached slowly.
The moon and stars were sparse, and the faint light of the mobile phone was reflected on Lu Wu's face. Bai Ming was stunned, and saw Lu Wu's eyes were warm, as if covering thousands of miles of mountains and seas, and filled the whole world. In the hazy moonlight, he was still laughing at himself, but no matter what he was laughing at, Bai Ming was no longer afraid.
At that moment, thousands of moonlight poured into the world, and the cool wind slowed down. Bai Ming's star-like eyes reflected the moonlight, and under the moonlight, the figure rushing towards him, he watched Lu Wu approaching step by step, as if A yellow talisman of a Taoist priest cut off hundreds of thousands of evil spirits in the world who came to him.
Lu Wu hung up the call, he stepped forward, lowered his head, helped Bai Ming wrap his coat tightly, and spoke slowly, his tone was gentle, like a piece of brocade, like a ten-mile spring breeze, he smiled and comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here .”
Like a ray of dawn breaking through the boundless night, hope burned blazingly in Bai Ming's heart.
Bai Ming felt dizzy in his head, and his feet softened accordingly. His tense body finally lost his strength and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Lu Wu reacted quickly, and quickly reached out to support him. He gritted his teeth and regained his strength. stand up.
He raised his head, the scene in front of him became slightly blurred, the moon became two rounds, and there were a few more willows, but Lu Wu was alone.
A few police cars with high beams also stopped not far away. The lights of the police cars hit Lu Wu behind. His figure blocked the glare of the headlights for Bai Ming. Lu Wu was one step late.
Lu Wu looked at the cell phone that Bai Ming was holding tightly. His arm was tightly supporting Bai Ming, as if the electric pile was replenishing his energy. He still smiled and asked, "Why didn't you talk just now?"
Bai Ming blinked flickeringly, those brows and eyes were the only organs in his body that still had aura, his arms were hanging down weakly, and he said with all his strength: "In the elevator, there is no, no signal."
Seeing that he had no extra strength, Lu Wu said, "Can you still go? How about I carry you up?"
"No, no, no..." Bai Ming quickly rebuffed, "I understand this disease, I was born with it, and it will be cured in a while."
After speaking, he took two steps on the spot to show that he was fine. Lu Wu smiled lightly, then raised his head, withdrew his smile, and looked behind him seriously, with a majestic momentum that was not angry.
A group of police came trotting over, and the man at the head had a strong aura, but he was a bit dwarfed by Lu Wu's standing. The man's eyes were deep and sharp. He was as young as Lu Wu, but half a head shorter in height. However, compared with Lu Wu's majestic and dignified appearance, he looks more aggressive and irritable.
The man stepped forward, sized Bai Ming up, and then greeted him: "Captain Lu, you're here too."
Lu Wu was unsmiling, just hummed, and then turned around and introduced: "Little assistant, this is the captain of the Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau's Huai'an Branch, Zhou Liang."
It turned out that they were Lu Wu's subordinates. Although they were not direct subordinates, Zhou Liang was overwhelmed by the difference between city and district levels.
Bai Ming stretched out a hand and said with a slight smile, "Hello, Police Officer Zhou. My name is Bai Ming. Coincidentally, I also belong to Huai'an District. I work in Huai'an Court."
Zhou Liang shook hands with him lightly, not wanting to exchange pleasantries, and said, "Stop talking, let's go straight to the topic of tonight."
15. Borrow
The cicadas sing closely, and the tall buildings hold the moon in the wind of willows.
The elevator outside the door dinged, attracting the attention of everyone in the house.
Lin Jiang rushed in, looking left and right, and saw that the small and dilapidated room was full of people in police uniforms, only two of them were dressed casually, standing out from the crowd, and one was sitting on the sofa, Wearing a jacket and holding a glass of water, another person stood aside, with sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, high-spirited.
This made his eyes fix on Bai Ming in a second, and he was about to enter the house when someone stopped him with his hand.
"Who are you? Please don't step into the scene of the murder." Zhou Liang's tone was indifferent, but with a bit of authority.
With a smile on his brows, Bai Ming immediately stood up from the sofa, the clothes on his shoulders slipped down, walked over in two steps, and said with a smile, "You're here!"
Seeing this, Lu Wu winked at Zhou Liang, signaling him to let go.
Without hindrance, Lin Jiang grabbed Bai Ming's arm, glanced up and down, and said anxiously: "You know what? I'm about to be scared to death by you."
Bai Ming's smile was like a flood of flood gates, and he couldn't stop it, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made you worry, come in and sit down."
Seeing that he was unharmed, Lin Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, punched him on the shoulder, and then walked into the room with him, and said a little angrily: "You still have the face to smile, everyone says you're skinny Paper is thin, thicker than city walls in my opinion.”
After all, he glanced at this small rented house, which he didn't want to come to from the bottom of his heart. At the beginning, he tried his best to dissuade Bai Ming from living here and think twice, but now his words seem to have come to light, one murder case is not enough , came out for the second time.
Under the dripping air conditioner, he saw the skeleton that had been removed by the police, and the chill came over him with just one glance. He shivered, turned his back quickly, and pointed at the invisible thing behind him, Said: "This is the corpse you said?"
Bai Ming nodded and replied: "Yes."
Lin Jiang's expression was indescribable, and he said again: "This is too intrusive, you, aren't you fainted by fright?"
Bai Ming whispered, "Almost."
Seeing that the two were chatting very happily, Lu Wu temporarily put down the forensic investigation in his hands. He walked slowly and stood aside. The three of them stood in a row from high to low like mobile data signals.
Lu Wu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and said, "You are Lin Jiang, right? Hello, my name is Lu Wu."
Bai Ming was taken aback. The policeman's observation and judgment should not be underestimated. He had never called Lin Jiang by his name, and Lu Wu had only heard the name once, but he could only rely on the actions and words between him and Lin Jiang. , can be recognized at a glance.
This sudden greeting caught Lin Jiang off guard. It turned out that the man standing in front of him was the policeman Bai Ming had mentioned. He also stretched out his hand and shook Lu Wu twice in a daze.
The atmosphere was a bit delicate, Bai Ming hurriedly squeezed between the two, and introduced: "Ah! Officer Lu, this is Lin Jiang, my roommate from college, and my best friend."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and continued: "Lin Jiang, this is the Deputy Chief of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Police Officer Lu Wulu."
Fortunately, Lin Jiang is a lively person. With him around, the atmosphere will definitely not cool down. He took over the conversation and said, "This is Police Officer Lu Wu. I have heard Bai Ming mention it for a long time."
This was a polite remark, but Lu Wu turned to look at Bai Ming, "Really? How did the little assistant mention me?"
Bai Ming was stunned, the past was vivid in his mind, he turned his back to Lu Wu, and frantically gave Lin Jiang winks, if the old things were brought up again, his body would be like a bubble, and it would shatter at the touch.
Based on Lin Jiang's understanding of him for many years, he knew Bai Ming's thoughts at a glance, snickered, and said in a strange way: "Can you explain clearly? What else can he say, just say that he is very honored to meet Police Officer Lu Wu , he is tall and handsome, and he always helps me, what a nice guy!"
As soon as these words came out, all the policemen in the room stopped their work.
The tone of these words does not seem to be what Bai Ming can say. He is like an ice sculpture at the moment, his whole body is frozen in place, and the embarrassment seems to seep into the blood and rush into the brain, making him blush. He secretly thought, if he just said To be honest, it might not be so embarrassing.
Lu Wu had already caught Lin Jiang's micro expression at a glance, smiled softly, patted Bai Ming's back with his palm, and asked jokingly, "Really, little assistant?"
This palm was very light, but Bai Ming felt it was too heavy to bear.
He was sandwiched between the two, looking at Lin Jiang who was holding back his laughter, and hearing the provocative tone of the man behind him, he turned around slowly, swallowed, laughed dryly, looked up at Lu Wu, After holding back two words for a long time, "Yes, yes."
But Lu Wu said: "This doesn't seem like something you would say."
"Why doesn't it look like that?" Lin Jiang chuckled and folded his hands in front of him, "Then what does Police Officer Lu Wu think he will say?"
Lu Wu raised his chin with his hand, pretended to think, and replied: "Little assistant, you should be able to describe in detail what happened on the day of the seminar."
Lin Jiang exclaimed as if singing an opera: "The police officer really knows things like a god!"
The two sang together, but their eyes fell on Bai Ming's face from the beginning to the end. He just wanted to close his eyes and fall to the ground.
But he couldn't, he could only laugh intermittently, and didn't dare to look at anyone, "There is no air conditioner in the room, it's a bit hot, I, I'll go open the window to get some air."
He lowered his head and didn't take two steps, only to see a pair of shoes in front of him. When he raised his head, Zhou Liangzheng said coldly: "In order to protect the scene, please don't walk around casually. Besides, you can't live here temporarily. Tonight we Clues such as fingerprints and footprints will be collected overnight, and your landlord will be summoned, so you can sleep with me in the inquiry room of the Huai'an Sub-bureau tonight."
"Now?" Bai Ming was taken aback, and took two steps back.
"No need..." Lu Wu flatly rejected this "invitation", "If you don't mind the little assistant, you can live with me first, it's also close to the Huai'an Court, and second, it's convenient for me to ask in person."
"Team Lu, the Municipal Bureau has so many cases that need your attention, so let me handle this matter. After all, this is the area under the jurisdiction of the Huai'an Sub-bureau."
Zhou Liang stood in front of Bai Ming, the black projection was like a curtain at the end of a drama, "Bai Ming, come with me."
"Then go tomorrow..." Lu Wu stopped in a cold voice. He knew how uncomfortable the bed in the Public Security Bureau was, so he turned his head and said softly, "The little assistant has been cleaning for a day. I think I'm exhausted. If You don't want to live with me, during the period when the house is locked, you can stay in a hotel near my house first, and I will pay the price."
After hearing this, Zhou Liang rubbed his forehead, he couldn't continue to contradict him, he didn't expect that Bai Ming in front of him would have such a big backer.
"What hotel are you staying in?" Lin Jiang heard that this rare opportunity was in front of him, and immediately said, "Stay at my house! My parents must be very happy."
Lu Wu said again: "If you don't live in a hotel, I have several rooms where you can live. And my house is next to the cake shop where you work. It's very convenient to come back at night. I can also drive you to the court during the day."
"I can also deliver! I will send you to work in the morning, and come to Huashirahama to pick you up in the evening. Cars will pick you up, rain or shine!"
The two in front of him were just joking with each other just now, and now they are like two immature children fighting for a toy. Bai Ming's eyes linger between the two, but he doesn't think he and Lu Wu are familiar enough to live together. No matter how far Lin Jiang lives, he still prefers the friends he has known for many years.
"Thank you Officer Lu for your kindness. I'll stay with Lin Jiang."
Lin Jiang clenched his fist in one hand and put on a victorious posture, "Let's go, let me help you pack your luggage."
Lu Wu's expression was slightly disappointed, but he had no choice. He knew Bai Ming's concerns, so he nodded in agreement.
Soon everyone began to tidy up. Although Bai Ming repeatedly rejected everyone's kindness, Lu Wu refused to listen and continued to help. Under the order of the deputy detachment leader, other policemen dared not refuse to listen.
The division of labor was clear, Bai Ming came to pack his things, Lu Wu, Zhou Liang and other policemen moved them downstairs, and Lin Jiang put them in his car.
Fortunately, after tidying up in the afternoon, coupled with the strength of the large number of people, the room became empty in a short while.
At the end, Zhou Liang and the rest of the police stayed at the scene, while Lin Jiang waited in the car. Lu Wu picked up the last big box and sent Bai Ming to the gate of the community.
Compared with this policeman, the short Bai Ming is only carrying a light schoolbag, which contains his daily record notebooks. The white moon shines brightly, smudges the ink-like night sky, and creates ripples in the world.
Bai Ming said, "I'm sorry Officer Lu, I've been bothering you on the big weekend."
Lu Wu grinned and said generously, "No, it's all trivial."
Bumping into Wanfeng's embrace head-on, Lu Wu saw that the little assistant remained silent, and continued: "If, if you're not used to living here, you can still move to my place."
Bai Ming nodded, thinking it was just a scene, and replied: "Thank you, officer."
Lu Wu laughed again: "You are still so polite, we are friends, have you forgotten?"
A friend, a friend with two ribs.
Seeing the two approaching, Lin Jiang quickly opened the car door, took the last big box, and said with a tired face, "You really have a lot of things."
Bai Ming sat in the co-pilot, opened the window, and waved goodbye: "Officer Lu, go back quickly, you have worked hard today."
Lu Wu smiled again, like a willow branch blown by the wind, "Don't worry about it here, I'll go and see their progress, it still depends on our criminal police."
The car started slowly, and picked up speed after a few seconds. Lu Wu looked at the luxury sports car that was fading away, and when he completely disappeared from sight, he turned around and walked towards the rental house.
The air conditioner in the car was turned on very loudly, Lin Jiang asked suspiciously: "This Lu Wu is really kind to you, he dares to compete with me for important people, and he doesn't even look at the relationship between us, do you have something against him? ?”
Bai Ming has thought about this question thousands of times in his heart, but he has no way of knowing. If Lu Wu is gentle, he still looks majestic and sharp when dealing with work and others, but he has a unique side when dealing with himself. With a wry smile, he said, "How can there be a handle? He is very nice, and everyone likes him."
Lin Jiang retorted: "Everyone likes him, but it's not that he likes everyone. Now it's obvious that he cares about you. Would he also invite other homeless people in the bureau to live in his house?"
Bai Ming: "..."
He rubbed his nose lightly, and pushed up the air-conditioning fan blades, "Actually, I don't know what, I've obviously never seen him, but he gave me a very familiar feeling."
"Familiar?" Lin Jiang exclaimed suddenly, causing Bai Ming to shiver in fright, "He won't have other plans for you, will he?"
Bai Ming really can't think of what else he has to gain, money, position, family, he has nothing, he sighed helplessly, and said: "I have nothing, nothing else is not worth it."
"You look good..." Lin Jiang clicked his tongue twice, seeing that Bai Ming was in a trance, he withdrew his unscrupulous smile again, "It's such a big deal, are you still going to work tomorrow? Why don't you go to work for two days?" Take sick leave and rest."
Bai Ming immediately came back to his senses, how can this busy world make people immersed in bitterness all the time, he shook his head and raised the corner of his mouth, "No, this is not very serious, I can bear it, I can't just fall into it because of the blooming season If it rains, I will no longer care about any gardens, enjoy the flowers, and live my life in the same way.”
This confidence made Lin Jiang glance sideways at the people beside him, Bai Ming's smile was faintly visible in the passing dim lights, as if he had never experienced strong winds and waves, and was as pure as a piece of white paper.
The car drove for a long time, and after crossing two large districts, it slowly arrived at the suburbs of Jiangzhou. What caught Bai Ming's eyes was a three-storey villa with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. The tall steps, the half-octagonal viewing bay windows, and the floor-to-ceiling glass reflecting the light spots all look elegant and luxurious from the outside.
This was the first time he came to Lin Jiang's house. Before, he only knew that Lin Jiang's family was in the real estate business, and he was a son who had no worries about food and clothing. But now he realized that he still underestimated the economic strength of Lin Jiang's family.
"My parents' bedroom is on the third floor on the east side, and the two of us live on the second floor on the west side. There is an empty room next to my house. The nanny and auntie cleaned it up a few weeks ago, and have been waiting for you to come and live when you are free. Tell me, treat this as our school dormitory."
While talking, Lin Jiang parked the car outside the gate of the villa. Compared with this big house, this luxury sports car that ordinary people can't afford seems a bit low-end.
Lin Jiang's parents heard the sound of the car, opened the three-person-high main door, and warmly welcomed Bai Ming under the dazzling crystal chandelier, especially Lin Jiang's mother, who gave him a hug without saying a word. Bai Ming was caught off guard and almost fell into his body, "Mingming, I heard Lin Jiang mention you a long time ago. Auntie just saw you today. It's windy outside, come in quickly."
Seeing that Bai Ming seemed to be still thinking about those luggage, she pulled him into the palace-like hall, "Let Lin Jiang and his father come over for this kind of thing, I just made some desserts, I heard you are in the cake shop Go to work, come and help auntie to taste how it is made."
This graceful woman is extremely cheerful, without any pretensions of a wealthy wife. She pulls Bai Ming to ask her about her health, and Bai Ming realizes that the reason why Lin Jiang has such a carefree personality is because his family is warm and open, which cultivates his personality. Lin Jiang, who is extroverted.
Bai Ming is like a camellia in the wild. After being discovered, it was moved into a greenhouse, carefully cared for, and watered day and night.
Before going upstairs, Lin Jiang's mother still refused to let go, and said in a voice: "Obviously, treat this as your own home, don't be restrained, and tell us if you feel uncomfortable."
Lin Jiang also echoed, "My parents were very happy when they heard that you were coming. They've been bored with me for a long time, and they also like to be lively. When they heard that you lived in the rented house on Changchun Road, they even scolded me. I paused and asked why I didn't let you live here, now it's all right, go around and live here, you, you can't escape."
Bai Ming smiled slightly, and replied, "Uncle and aunt are so warm, they made me feel at home as soon as I came here."
The moonlight is like broken silver, and the sound of insects is like drizzle. This misty midsummer night looks like crumpled navy blue brocade, and smells like burnt green mint leaves, eye-catching and deep, fiery and fresh.
Especially when the city has been baked for a whole day and almost melted into the beautiful night, the interweaving of wind and moon is just like the sweet rain after a long drought, dripping on the clothes.
In order to fulfill his promise, Lin Jiang got up early on Monday morning. If it were this time on weekdays, he would still be sound asleep at home.
Before departure, Bai Ming received a summons from the police. He knew that the police were going to question him about the skeleton case in the rented house. He asked Zheng Ye for a day off, took Lin Jiang's car and went to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
The courtyard of the Public Security Bureau was full of magnolias, but he didn't have time to stop and admire them. He had just stepped into the lobby on the first floor, and Wang Qian was already waiting there.
Wang Qian walked towards him and said with a smile, "Bai Ming, you are here."
Bai Ming nodded and asked, "Good morning, Officer Wang, are you waiting for me here?"
Wang Qian replied: "That's right, senior brother came early in the morning and asked me to pick you up here."
This salary is really high, Bai Ming is just an ordinary informant, yet someone came to lead the way.
Going up the stairs to the second floor and turning right, he suddenly remembered that Lu Wu said in the cake that the office of the detachment leader is on the right turn on the second floor.
This is not the direction to the inquiry room.
He was puzzled. Just as he was about to ask the guide, he saw Wang Qian stop. He glanced at the sign above his head, which said "Captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment". As expected, this is Lu Wu office.
"Senior brother asked you to wait for him here. He has gone to the morning meeting and will be here soon."
Bai Ming nodded obediently, walked slowly, and stepped into the house, while Wang Qian behind him closed the door and left.
He is next to the door of the house, which is also an office. This place is completely different from Zheng Ye's European-style cottage. The room is large, but low-key and simple. , the upper part of the wall is painted white, and the lower part is painted green. The wall is covered with pennants sent by the public. Under the pennants are a row of wooden cabinets filled with books and files. A water dispenser is inlaid between the cabinets. , there is a black leather couch for receiving guests by the door.
The sun shines on a row of window sills, and the lush magnolia tree stretches into its arms from the window. Bai Ming sits on the sofa and turns his gaze to the table. On the main table is an old computer, a telephone, a teapot, and the teapot With a few wisps of hot smoke, apart from the scent of flowers, the room is filled with the slightly bitter smell of dried leaves.
The most attractive thing is the piles of commendation letters randomly placed. It seems that Lu Wu has received too many and doesn't care about such things. Bai Ming thinks carefully, if he can get one, he will be happy for a long time.
His thoughts were disturbed by the sound of footsteps outside. He immediately sat up straight and tidied up his clothes. Five or six policemen including Zhou Liang, all wearing police uniforms and caps, walked into the house together.
Bai Ming took a deep breath, usually only asked two or three people, this battle made him feel that something was wrong.
16. Reversal
"Little assistant, you are here." Lu Wuben had a sullen face, and suddenly saw the person sitting in the room, and immediately smiled.
This little assistant made people who didn't know Bai Ming think that Bai Ming was the police assistant of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau.
The room was bright and silent, except for the sound of footsteps, only Bai Ming's rapid breathing. He quickly stood up from the sofa and greeted: "Officer Lu, Officer Zhou, good morning, officers."
"Morning." Lu Wu was still the only one who responded. He strode to the main table and sat down on the chair, as if sinking into the soft cushion. He poured himself a cup of tea, and the hot tea fell into the cup. The tone changes from low to high, like the whistle of blowing leaves.
The rest of the police stood in the room, and everyone looked the judge's assistant up and down. The close and sharp eyes made Bai Ming feel really uncomfortable. He stood where he was, forced a smile on his face.
Lu Wu glanced over here, and explained: "Sit down, assistant, I just went to a morning meeting, and I came a little late."
With this group of policemen standing in front of him, it was hard for Bai Ming to just sit down. He still kept his standing posture, clasped his hands together, hanging in front of his body, an inexplicable tension radiated from head to toe, and said slowly: " Did Police Officer Lu summon me?"
Lu Wu hummed, took a sip of his tea, and pointed to the policemen standing beside him, "Don't be afraid, I'm just here to ask some questions."
The leader, Zhou Liang, was holding a few pieces of paper in his hand. He walked towards Bai Ming slowly, and landed on the ground step by step. This was in sync with the ticking sound of the second hand of the clock. The feeling of oppression was like a building that was about to collapse. He stopped in front of Bai Ming, and showed his ID card from his jacket pocket.
Zhou Liang, head of the criminal investigation team of Huai'an Branch of Jiangzhou Public Security Bureau.
Bai Ming already knew this identity, but he understood that this was a necessary procedure for questioning.
Zhou Liang asked: "Bai Ming, male, 23 years old, graduate of the Law Department of Jiangzhou University, right?"
"it's me."
Zhou Liang looked solemn, and continued to ask: "Do you know Wei Feng?"
Wei Feng, that murderer, the name made Bai Ming's heart tremble. Whether it was hijacking or visiting the prison, it left a big shadow on him. He hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "I know, I know."
"I didn't know each other before, yes, I just met." Acquaintance doesn't mean being an acquaintance, Bai Ming immediately took over the words just now, because of hastily clearing things up, his words became scarce for a while, seeing Zhou Liang's suspicious eyes, he couldn't think To come up with a better method of justification, the description will only get darker and darker.
Zhou Liang said with a blank face, "We did a preliminary investigation on the corpse. The deceased was a woman, about 23 years old, and the time of death was about five years ago. We compared all the cases reported five years ago. The missing person, but the corresponding person has not been found, and the identity of the deceased cannot be verified at present.”
After listening to this series of reports, Bai Ming was stunned and didn't know what to say.
Zhou Liang continued: "According to your landlord's testimony, the last tenant was He Qing, who moved in five years ago, and was unfortunately killed on Canglan Road not long after, so no one has lived in that house for five years. ?"
"Yes." Bai Ming replied.
"We found several fingerprints in the ventilation duct. The fingerprints pointed to two people. The first fingerprint was stained not long ago, so we can temporarily rule out the suspicion, while the second one should have been left over from a long time ago. We Comparing all the personnel in the database of the Public Security Bureau, the second suspect that can be accurately pointed to is Wei Feng."
It was Wei Feng again. Hearing this, Bai Ming suddenly realized.
Wei Feng once told Bai Ming in prison that he left a gift.
It turned out that Bai Ming had already received this meeting gift.
He couldn't help shivering, then raised his head and asked, "So the first fingerprint is mine?"
Zhou Liang nodded, "Yes."
Bai Ming simply said "Oh", it turned out that on a certain day five years ago, Wei Feng was the same as him, standing under the air conditioner in that room, tremblingly leaning on the chair, and stuffing the corpse into it.
But fortunately, the Skynet is fully restored, and even though Wei Feng handles his crime carefully, Bai Ming will still find out after five years.
