Chapter 18: The Cooked Duck Is "Cut Off"
Although Xu Changlin was frightened, after all, in his own territory, which alley is shallow, which alley is deep, which night road has pits, and which path has thresholds, he has a clear heart.
The experience of being a sports specialty student in the north came into play this time. He used all his strength and rushed towards Xu Changlin like an arrow.
However, the strong dragon does not crush the head snake. Xu Changlin turned left and right, and disappeared after a while.
To the north, he was almost stunned by the other party, and after several tosses, he came to an open area. He could faintly see the shadows of the trees, the dry branches rustling in the cold wind.
It's so gloomy, a graveyard?
"It's quite fast, where are you hiding?" Xiang Bei crossed his hands on his hips, panting and whispering.
Luo Fangyi also caught up, and also leaned down and gasped: "Master, have you caught up!"
"Shhhh
He took a flashlight, scanned the surroundings, and through the lamppost, finally saw the appearance of this area: some weeds and wheat straw piles of stacks, piled up in twos and threes out of a steamed bun-shaped bag, surrounded by rows of willows and sycamores around the place into a square, it seems that it should be a wheat field.
Unknown birds occasionally make a cry with a miserable sound.
Like a crow.
How is this wheat field more scary than a graveyard?
At night, people's visual ability is limited, and their auditory function is much stronger. Xiang Bei and Luo Fangyi held their breath, and any small movement in the wheat field was magnified several times.
Prick up your ears to the north and listen carefully.
A figure suddenly came out of the wheat stack on the side and pounced on Luo Fangyi, who was close to him.
"Fang Yi, be careful!"
Before the sound of the north fell, the black shadow had already pounced.
Before Luo Fangyi could react, she was hugged and fell to the ground! Fortunately, she was wearing thick clothes, and there were scattered wheat stalks on the ground, which did not hurt her flesh and bones.
Xu Changlin yelled as if he was crazy, picked up a brick, and threw it at Luo Fangyi.
Seeing this to the north, he rushed up with an arrow and grabbed Xu Changlin to death.
Xu Changlin originally pressed Luo Fangyi, but turned towards the north. Seeing the momentum to the north, he blocked with his left hand, grabbed the opponent's wrist with his right hand, and slammed it.
If you change to another reporter, because you sit in the office all year round, you may not have much combat value.
After all, Xiangbei was a sports student when he was in college, and he had an advantage in both height and physical strength.
Pull Xu Changlin up to the north, and first find a way to get Luo Fangyi out of danger. However, the other party smashed it with a brick and hit Xiangbei on the forehead hard, and Xiangbei endured severe pain and held the other party down.
Luo Fangyi got out of danger, but he didn't dodge, but rushed up and tore Xu Changlin hard from behind, but his strength was too small and didn't have much effect.
The three of them were torn together, and the scene was chaotic.
"Xu Changlin, calm down, I don't pose any threat to you. "Xiang Bei still hasn't given up, trying to convince the other side.
"You're threatening me right now. Xu Changlin yelled, "I beg you, let me go, I really don't know anything." ”
While the three were scuffling, a rapid siren was getting closer. The headlights illuminate the entire wheat field. Two police cars, five or six people, surrounded them.
"Police, don't move!"
The three men reflexively stopped, and at the same time turned their faces to look at the police.
"Luo Fangyi, why are you here?" one of the tall policemen suddenly called out Luo Fangyi's name, and his tone was a little surprised.
Luo Fangyi covered the strong light with his hand, and carefully identified the other party against the backlight of the headlights, "Brother...... Is that you?"
"I can't even hear my voice, who else would it be if it wasn't me!" the other said in a displeased tone.
Several police officers rushed forward and took the three men under control.
"Hey, hey, give her to me, and you go and watch them. The tall policeman broke away from his two subordinates, took Luo Fangyi over, and asked the person next to him, "You are Xu Changlin." ”
The other party nodded, his expression frightened, completely lost the brute force just now.
"We suspect you are involved in a case of intentional wounding resulting in death, please come with us. ”
The tall policeman gave a look, and Xu Changlin was taken to the car.
"Who is he?"
"To the north, my master. ”
"Xiangbei? Oh, I remember, you mentioned it to me today, a reporter from Beijiang Evening News. ”
The tall policeman motioned for his subordinates to let go and head north.
"Hello, I'm Xiangbei. ”
"Hello, I'm Luo Yuchen. The other party's tone was much softer, "Luo Fangyi, aren't you on a business trip for an interview, why are you in this place?"
"Brother, we're interviewing. Luo Fangyi replied helplessly.
"Interviews? This is the first time I've seen such an interview. ”
"Luo Fangyi, what's going on, why am I confused by you?" Xiang Bei had a puzzled expression.
"This is my brother, uh...... Wrong...... It's my brother, Luo Yuchen, a police officer from the Hedong City Public Security Bureau. Luo Fangyi hurriedly explained.
Xiang Bei and Luo Yuchen's eyes met, and in just a few seconds, they confirmed their eyes.
"How do I feel like I've seen you somewhere?" Luo Yuchen tried to recall, "Oh, I remember, at the scene of the arson crime, you wanted to go in for an interview at that time, but I stopped you. ”
"Yes, I remember, what a coincidence. ”
"It's a coincidence, why every time you appear, it can make me remember it deeply? And you, Luo Fangyi, tell me about you, what are you doing here in the middle of the night, do you know, you almost missed my big event. ”
"Brother, we got the news that Xu Changlin will appear tonight, and he just came over, and it's also official business, hehe." Hey, by the way, brother, how did you get here?" Luo Fangyi asked rhetorically.
"Nonsense, of course I'm here to handle the case, otherwise, it's a cold day, you think I'm going for a walk?!"
"So, you're also here to arrest Xu Changlin?" asked Xiang Bei.
"That's right, we've been looking for Xu Changlin these days. Tonight, our police platform received a report that Xu Changlin would appear at home, so we rushed over. Originally, we went straight to Xu Changlin's house, but when we passed by here, we found that there was movement, and we actually touched it. Do you know how dangerous you are just now? If we arrive one step too late, we don't know what will happen!"
"So......" Xiang Bei's expression was surprised, "So, you also received a report call about Xu Changlin's whereabouts!
"I won't tell you more, we're leaving. Luo Yuchen turned around and was about to leave, then turned around, "Girl, it's okay to interview, but you must pay attention to safety, you know?"
Luo Fangyi nodded.
"Oh, by the way, Xiang ......" Luo Yuchen struggled to recall the other party's name, "To the north, the murder of Luohe Village will soon be revealed." I'm telling you this for the sake of this girl's face. You just wait for the report from the public security department, maybe there will be news in the next few days. Also, thank you for taking care of Fang Yi, she is not deeply involved in the world, you will guide her more in the future. ”
Xiangbei nodded, I didn't expect there to be so many coincidences today. The first coincidental coincidence, he and the police received clues from Xu Changlin at the same time; the second coincidental coincidence, he actually met with this policeman again, Luo Yuchen was right, every time it appeared in an impressive way; and the third coincidence, he didn't expect this person to be Luo Fangyi's brother.
"I don't know if these are just coincidences or if someone did it on purpose. "Talking to himself to the north.
"What did you say, Master?"
"Oh, nothing. "Go north to wipe the dust and weeds off your body," Luo Fangyi, I didn't expect your brother to be a policeman, why didn't you say it earlier? ”
"Hey, Master, don't laugh at me. My brother was almost 10 years older than me and always treated me like a child. If he says something inappropriate, don't take it to heart. He is like this, and it is estimated that it is an occupational disease. ”
"No, no, I think it's good. The way I got to know your brother is unique and impressive. Oh, I remember, the last time you said you introduced me to my family, it was him, right?"
"Well, yes, it just so happens that he is also in charge of investigating the case in Luohe Village, I wanted to introduce you to each other, but I didn't expect to meet on such an occasion. ”
"It's nice to meet in this way, and it's unforgettable for a lifetime. Xiang Bei laughed again, and then remembered Xu Changlin's heavy punch, and his forehead was already bleeding.
"Master, are you okay," Luo Fangyi stared at Xiang Bei, "It's all my fault for making you hurt." Hurry back to the hotel, I'll find you some ice cubes to put on it......"
When the two returned to the hotel, the eastern sky was already slightly white.
"Hello, hotel reception, is there anything for you?"
Luo Fangyi returned to the room and called the front desk of the Xincheng Hotel.
"Hello, there are no ice cubes, send a few pieces to my room. ”
"Okay, wait a minute. ”
A few minutes later, the waiter delivered the ice to Rofonyi's room.
"Master. Luo Fangyi knocked on the room to the north, holding a towel wrapped in ice cubes in his hand, "Here, put it on." ”
"No, it's not a big deal. Xiangbei stroked his injured forehead with his hand.
"Oh, you just put it on obediently, and find a clinic to deal with it later. ”
Xiang Bei took the towel and pressed it on his forehead: "Xiao Luo, since the arson case in Luohe Village, your brother has been in charge of this case, right?"
"yes. ”
"Then he should have some relevant materials in his hand, I wonder if he can reveal some?"
"This," Luo Fangyi was a little embarrassed, "I never asked about his work, I don't know if he is willing to reveal it, I can ask him." ”
Xiangbei thought for a moment: "Forget it, they have their discipline, don't trouble him." With what I know now, the material should be pretty much the same. It is estimated that when it comes to land acquisition, they will not have more investigations. Let's wait for the police press release. I didn't sleep all night last night, it's very hard, make up for sleep, sleep until you wake up naturally, and then I'll invite you out to dinner. ”
"Okay, Master, let's take a rest, too. ”
Xiang Bei closed the door and did not fall asleep, and the scene of tracking Xu Changlin in the early morning appeared in his mind again. He said that the arson case had nothing to do with him, but why was he so afraid? And the matter of land acquisition, why did he react so strongly when he mentioned it? Could it be that he really knew the inside story, or was he fabricated the formalities for the land acquisition project, as he suspected?
