Chapter 405: A Strange Figure
At the meeting to summarize the case, Qiu Lan compared and analyzed the suspect's confession with the deceased's autopsy report from the perspective of a forensic doctor, and finally determined that the suspect was the murderer of the deceased Fang Na.
According to the popular practice of the police department, after solving such a major case, the three major departments of the forensic department, the forensic department, and the serious crime team are going to have a dinner, and today is of course no exception.
At seven o'clock in the evening, they showed up at the barbecue buffet with a smile and ordered a table of barbecue and two dozen beers.
In the lively and excited atmosphere, everyone was very happy, and Qiu Lan also drank a few beers, and her face was a little red.
"Doctor Qiu, Mo Heng, as the only three women here, we still have to have a toast. Pei Pei, who was full of wine, raised his wine glass and walked to Qiu Lan and Mo Heng's side tremblingly.
"Okay, cheers, but you have to sit down first. Qiu Lan was worried that Pei Pei would not be able to stand on her feet and fall, so she quickly grabbed her arm and let her sit on the chair obediently.
After a glass of beer, Qiu Lan stood up and walked to the bathroom.
Two minutes later, she walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of the coat mirror outside, arranging her collar and corners, but she didn't expect to see a woman in the mirror.
The barbecue bar is open-air, and there is a jungle outside as a landscape, and the figure is hidden in the jungle.
Qiu Lan took a deep breath, pretended to be calm and turned on the hand faucet, and simply cleaned her hands, but her eyes kept quietly glancing at the figure.
The woman was wearing sunglasses, and she couldn't tell who it was, but the man kept looking in her direction.
Suddenly, the mysterious woman took off the sunglasses on her face, her eyes were cold, and it happened that Qiu Lan was raising her eyes to observe her, looking at each other.
That cold expression made Qiu Lan shiver involuntarily, and she lost her sense of wine.
She didn't have time to turn off the water, so she turned around and looked in the direction of the woman, wanting to find out, after all, this is a big court, even if there are illegal gangsters, they don't dare to do it.
But what is suspicious is that as soon as she turned around and raised her eyes, the figure disappeared mysteriously.
What's going on?
Qiu Lan, who looked solemn, frowned, looked around vigilantly, and indeed did not see the woman's figure again.
"Doctor Qiu, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, Mo Heng's voice came from the side.
"No, not much. Qiu Lan breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on her face softened a lot.
"I just saw you stunned from afar, and I thought you had drunk a little too much tonight and couldn't walk, how about you?" Mo Heng raised his eyebrows and said with concern.
"Mmmm, it's fine, but I'm a little too drunk. Qiu Lan smiled slightly, stroked the corners of her forehead, and slowly exhaled.
"It's okay, everyone is almost ready to leave, Doctor Qiu?" Mo Heng pursed his red lips lightly, his voice was calm, and his temperament was elegant.
"Hmm. Qiu Lan nodded and returned to the barbecue table side by side with her.
After checking out, everyone left.
Qingshuiwan is relatively close to this barbecue bar, Qiu Lan didn't take a taxi, but walked home after dinner, but her mind kept thinking about the figure outside the bathroom.
Could it be that she was wrong? But it doesn't look like it.
That woman's figure, she saw it so clearly, how could she admit her mistake?
Before she knew it, Qiu Lan walked through the bustling and noisy city streets and walked into a dark and deep alley.
It used to be a night beer street, but recently due to rectification, all the shops have been closed, and no one has ever come from here.
A cool breeze blew quietly, Qiu Lan couldn't help but tighten her coat, quickened her pace, and felt slightly apprehensive.
Although I am used to seeing corpses on weekdays, and I am more courageous than ordinary people, I still can't help but feel a little worried when I walk in this alley where there is no light and there is no end in sight.
After walking for a long time, Qiu Lan turned the corner, but the other alley around the corner was still being rectified.
At that moment, a muffled grunt sounded, and it seemed to be the sound of a kick turning his head.
Could it be that there is someone in the back?
Qiu Lan, who had a heavy face, sank her eyes, her eyebrows moved slightly, and her delicate facial features hardened a little.
She turned on her phone's own flashlight, turned around slowly, and glanced cautiously down the alley behind her.
There wasn't even a bird in the quiet and deserted alley, only the rustling of leaves, but just as Qiu Lan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn around and continue through the alley, she suddenly saw a shadow that appeared on the edge of a bush, which was obviously the side face of a man.
Someone is stalking her!
Qiu Lan tensed her body, her eyes sank, and she tried to calm her nervous mind.
Witty, she thought for a moment, turned on the music device on her phone, clicked on a song, clicked the pause button when she played it for a few seconds, and then put the earpiece of the phone to her ear.
"Hey, Peipei, is that you? what's wrong?"
She pretended to be talking to someone as she turned and quickened her pace towards the end of the alley, but in reality, there was no sound on her phone, so she could clearly hear the footsteps following her.
"You said that the document of the previous case, I seem to have put it in the first compartment on the left side of the cabinet, are you in a hurry? If not, I will give it to you tomorrow. ”
The cold sound echoed in the alley.
Perhaps because of the call, the man who followed her did not make a move, but he did not leave, but kept following her closely.
Walking to the end of the alley, there was finally a street with dim street lights outside, but the buildings on both sides were new, uninhabited, and there were no people at night.
This time, Qiu Lan clearly saw the figure reflected on the ground.
The man actually followed her all the time, Qiu Lan raised her eyes and glanced at the situation in front of her, and found a small intersection, she took a deep breath and decided to gamble.
Three seconds later, she clenched her hands and feet, strode towards the junction, quickly turned, and quietly hid in the corner of the wall, where there happened to be a wooden stick.
Qiu Lan, who was nervous, moved the movement of her hand, clenched the stick, held her breath, and vigilantly observed the movement next to her, but she waited there for a minute, and the man never appeared, and there was no one else on the street.
Was he gone? Or wasn't the man coming for her?
But if the man was just on the way, why did he hide in the grass when Qiu Lan turned around?
What the hell is going on?
Just when Qiu Lan was puzzled, there was another sound of footsteps on the street outside, this voice was different from the previous one, low but gentle.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Qiu Lan clenched the wooden stick in her hand, staring at the black figure that could appear on the ground at any time.
Sure enough. A few seconds later, a black shadow emerged around the corner.
Qiu Lan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, waved the wooden stick in her hand, and slammed it towards the place of the black shadow.
With a "bang", the wooden stick fell to the ground.
