Chapter 3: Kisses
The suddenly enlarged shadow made Su Tong subconsciously raise his head, just in time to meet Xu Sa's pressed lips.
The tip of the soft tongue swirls patiently outside the closed lips, slowly burrowing through the crevice that is gradually loosening.
The moment the tips of the tongues touched, a satisfied and vague sigh came out of Xu Sa's throat, and Su Tong's slender eyelashes flickered a few times and slowly closed.
But the frenzied and angry kiss that night in the darkness of the evidence storehouse, this kiss was cautiously tentative and plausible from beginning to end.
Su Tong once again seemed to be stepping on the clouds, and time was like the wind, whistling in his ears.
She stood in the torrent of time, watching her former self come step by step, coinciding with her current self.
"What are you guys doing!"
The sharp female voice suddenly sounded awakened the two who had fallen into memories.
Xu Sa looked at Su Tong's misty eyes, and his hands suddenly tightened.
The sudden increase in pressure on her waist made Su Tong wake up completely, she took a step back again, but Xu Sa had already turned her head to look at the door of the office.
A woman with long hair stood by the door, her delicate face contorted with anger.
She rushed over in three steps and two steps, pushed away the stunned Su Tong, and grabbed Xu Sa's arm tightly with both hands, as if she was grasping the last straw.
Su Tong was pushed backwards and staggered a few steps before she stopped, and the hot cocoa in the cup also spilled out, splashing on the back of her hand, and her white and tender skin suddenly became red and swollen.
Xu Sa's pupils shrank suddenly, and his originally clenched fists clenched violently before he forcibly suppressed the urge to take a step forward.
Su Tong didn't care about the burns on the back of her hands and the stained clothes, all her attention was focused on the woman's body.
Lan Xi, Xu Sa's childhood sweetheart, her former rival in love.
The heartbeat quickened, the bitter and astringent taste came up from the bottom of my heart, the original sweet taste was gone, and the bitter taste of the whole mouth became dry.
"Su Tong, why do you still have the face to appear in front of Xu Sa! You once hurt him so badly, have you forgotten! ”
Lan Xi scolded Su Tong in a loud voice, and she was half-blocked in front of Xu Sa, as if she had erected a thorn all over her body.
Such a blatant hostility, such a natural declaration of sovereignty.
Is that so?
Su Tong smiled bitterly in her heart, she should have known.
"Lan Xi, what are you doing here?"
In the tense atmosphere, Xu Sa's voice was particularly abrupt, but it immediately diverted Lan Xi's attention.
"I'm worried about you, you haven't been home for a week, you don't answer the phone and don't reply to text messages, how can I rest assured."
Lan Xi's words made Xu Sa's brows twist, and his words were not only the usual coldness, but also with obvious displeasure: "You should know what my job is, what I hate the most is a woman who is still unreasonable when I work."
Lan Xi still wanted to defend something, but Xu Sa's voice sounded again, but the object this time was Su Tong.
"The recording record should be compiled into a text version as soon as possible, the corresponding pictures should be made into slides, and the regular meeting in the afternoon should ensure that each group member has a copy, and you still have 8 hours."
Su Tong was startled, only to find that the sky outside the window was white at some point, and the hour hand of the clock on the wall pointed to half past five.
After Xu Sa finished speaking, he turned around and left, Lan Xi glared at Su Tong fiercely, and quickly chased after him.
……
Under the enormous pressure of the possibility of a new series of homicides, no one can do the job at hand as if nothing happened.
The appearance of the second homicide weighs a heavy stone on everyone's heart.
Blindly maintaining stability and concealing the problem will not fundamentally solve the problem, but may lead to more victims due to carelessness.
As early as the day after the second murder, the Public Security Bureau officially lifted the gag order against the news media, and the entire city of S was shrouded in a cloud of fear.
People are panicking, and no one knows if those evil eyes will have quietly stared at themselves.
A group of reporters waited outside the gate of the Public Security Bureau, like sharks gathering at the smell of blood, ready to dig up any latest case developments and related news.
Xu Sa stared at the forensic report in his hand, his face was terrifyingly pale.
Su Tong looked at his chin with blue stubble and sunken eyes, his lips moved a few times, and finally he didn't speak.
After Lan Xi came that day, she and Xu Sa returned to the original point, and almost didn't say a word between the two of them except when necessary.
In the past three days, except for discussing the case, Xu Sa has not given Su Tong even a look.
The low pressure between the two made everyone in the serious crime team avoid it, and no one still had the energy to pay attention to gossip and scandal when the pressure was so great that they were about to collapse.
Su Tong knew very well what the forensic report in Xu Sa's hand meant.
In the previous case analysis process, they all invariably hoped that this might be just an accidental similarity, or even a parody of the crime.
Imitation means leaving loopholes.
But with the release of the forensic report for the second murder, this expectation was completely shattered into a bubble.
The serial murder case that caused a sensation in the country did not disclose the detailed details of the crime, but many details that were sealed up and only known to the police appeared in front of the investigators again.
This means that thirteen years later, the ghostly Grim Reaper has raised the butcher's knife again!
Thirteen years have not made the murderer tired, but more and more cunning, he wantonly leaves clues and evidence at the crime scene, but each tracking will cause more uncertainty and contradictions.
The initiative of this game of life and death is firmly in the hands of the murderer, no one knows what kind of terrible opponent the murderer will be now, but one thing they all know very well is that the murderer will be more cruel and ruthless, challenging everyone's bottom limit.
"Su Tong, take all the data of the comparative analysis of the case file to the conference room, I don't believe him!"
Xu Sa's words stirred up the dull atmosphere, and Wang Dalu was the first to step forward and punch him the shoulder.
"Good boy, these two days have suffocated your brother Wang! No matter how powerful that shriveled calf is, he is also a person, are we so many stinkers afraid that we won't be able to make up a Zhuge Liang. ”
"That's it, Brother Wang is right, Team Sa, it's no better than thirteen years ago, the criminal investigation technology at that time was backward and simple, and now it is one in the sky and one underground, and I don't believe that Wang Ba Lamb can turn to the sky."
Everyone, you and I echoed every word, as if the murderer could be brought to justice with a single move of his mouth.
Su Tong listened to everyone's venting, and did not participate in it, she was busy sorting out the relevant forms and materials, and she didn't notice that a pair of dark eyes were looking at her with a faint worry.
Xu Sa has never been a man who is afraid of challenges, the more intelligent the criminal, the more he can stimulate his potential and fighting spirit, but this time he hesitated.
In the series of tragedies thirteen years ago, the murderer was provoked once.
The person in charge of this case was Lin Xiao, the leader of the serious crime team at the time.
Lin Xiao, who is in the prime of life, has a keen sense of smell for criminals and thunderous attack methods.
From the successive murders, Lin Xiao decisively excluded the most confusing and misleading clues, and pushed back to the clues against public opinion, and came to an incredible conclusion.
It's a pity that no one dares to believe this almost ridiculous reasoning, and some people even ridiculed that Lin Xiao wanted to make meritorious service and wanted to faint.
In a fit of rage, Lin Xiao went to the place he guessed single-handedly, and although he finally pounced, he found the traces left by the murderer when he fled in a hurry.
The only chance to catch the killer was missed.
Ten days later, the enraged murderer gave Lin Xiao a "big gift".
His parents, wives and children, including relatives, were brutally murdered overnight, and the level of bloodshed at the scene was unprecedented.
The iron-clad tough guy knelt in front of the corpse of his loved one and passed out one night later, spitting blood from his mouth and fainting after three days and three nights.
Lin Xiao's eyes were always full of blood when he woke up again, and the hallucinations that appeared from time to time made him suddenly burst into injury This black history is too painful, and it also involves many contradictions such as dereliction of duty within the police force.
Xu Sa is not afraid of angering the murderer and attracting revenge.
Xu's mother passed away unexpectedly five years ago, and Xu's father, who lost his partner, spent two years in depression and happiness, and then passed away, and his only sister studied overseas.
At this moment, Su Tong appeared.
For this woman he had loved with all his life, Xu Sa always thought that he only had hatred left.
The furious kiss in the evidence warehouse was the catharsis of all the emotions he had suppressed for five years.
A cautious kiss in the pantry was his willfulness as he wished.
He hated her, and he remembered her to the core.
He loved her and never forgot her.
……
The members of the serious crime team entered the conference room one after another, and the meeting materials on the table were placed according to the number of heads, but the team leader Xu Sa was still nowhere to be seen.
In the stairwell at the other end of the corridor, Xu Sa stared at the woman standing in front of him and said in a cold voice:
"Let it go."
"Don't let it go!"
Su Tong's crooked crescent eyes stared directly at Xu Sa, and his fingers desperately burrowed into his fingers and clasped firmly, just like he had done to her countless times.
"I said, let it go!"
Xu Sa's eyes became colder and colder, his voice was no longer calm, faintly threatening, and there was a trace of undetectable ...... Awkward.
"If you don't let it go, you won't let it go, you have the ability to get rid of me!"
Su Tong's smile became bigger and bigger, and all the eight snow-white jade-like shell teeth were exposed, and she even had to entangle her other hand with Xu Sa's ten fingers.
"Boring, Su Tong, do you still want face?"
Xu Sa's stiff mask cracked with a fine line, and the cruel words blurted out made Su Tongse shrink back.
"Xu Sa, I'm not afraid, did you hear it, I'm not afraid!"
Su Tong's eyes were red, and his words had a thick nasal voice, but his black and white eyes stubbornly looked at Xu Sa.
The slight tremor was passed to Xu Sa with the handed hands.
Five years ago, she also said the most cruel words to herself with such an expression, and resolutely threw herself into the abyss of despair, but at that time, was she also trembling like this?
Xu Sa's fingers moved, Su Tong's fingers wrapped up harder, her gaze did not dodge, and she did not allow Xu Sa's gaze to shift even a bit.
What went wrong?
"Xu Sa, you just look down on me like this! Don't forget, all the comparisons are done by me, and I can see what you see, don't be a fool for me! ”
I see!
Xu Sa suddenly forgot that Su Tong was not only his lover, but also his most tacit partner.
"Team Sa, Su girl, where are the people?"
At the end of the corridor, Wang Dalu's loud voice came calling, and Xu Sa forcefully pulled his left hand out of Su Tong's hand.
The fingers of his right hand were rubbed red and stinging, Su Tong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his left hand unconsciously leaked his strength.
In the next second, the five fingers of Xu Sa's right hand tightened, and the small hand that slipped from the palm of his hand was tightly wrapped in.
He lifted his legs and left, dragging Su Tong, who was stunned in place, to a stagger.
Su Tong, who trotted all the way with Xu Sa, smiled.
Shaking the hand he was holding, Xu Sa turned his head to look at Su Tong, who was holding him again: "What's wrong?"
Looking at him timidly with young deer-like wet eyes, Su Tong stammered:
"That Lanxi, what, what should I do?"
