Chapter 8: The Curse

After Li Changqing locked the door of the office, he went downstairs to take a bus and rushed to the police station of the Southern District of the Federation in Nanlin City.

After he entered the police station, he soon saw the female police officer who received him yesterday.

The female police officer came straight to him, she opened a document in her hand, and said, "Mr. Li, after you called the police yesterday, we quickly investigated, you can see if it is this person." ”

The man on the information looks to be about fifty years old, with some gray hair, very bad skin, and a lot of spots, but he doesn't know the appearance of the person who put the money, and he still has to meet him before he can judge according to his temperament.

"It seems like yes, is he at the police station? Can I see him? ”

The female police officer nodded and said: "Well, this is exactly the purpose of asking you to come over, his name is Hu Qideng, fifty-seven years old, a native of Nanlin City, living in Nantong Community, but there are many criminal records, but they are all trivial things." ”

"After you reported the crime yesterday, we first screened some people with criminal records in the vicinity, and locked on him, lame, a little hunchbacked, and had the same clothes at home as in the photos you provided."

It's no wonder that it took less than a day to find someone.

"Let's go, go to the interrogation room, and you can confront him for a while."

In fact, it stands to reason that the informant and the suspect cannot be allowed to meet, and the process of taking confessions and other procedures must be separated.

But this is just a case of a thief, and after the culprit is identified, the stolen money is returned and the thief is detained for half a month.

They have seen a lot of this kind of case.

In fact, according to the normal process, after catching a thief, the thief will often confess, after all, most of the thieves are habitual offenders and have a criminal record, and then return the money, and the police station will send someone to Li Changqing to send it over.

Very simple case.

It's just that Hu Qideng denied that he stole money, and they could only let Li Changqing lie down again.

The female police officer led him open the door to an interrogation room and led him inside.

The interrogation room is not large, only about five square meters, and the bright light illuminates the whole room, and there is an iron chair inside, which is specially made to keep the prisoner's hands in the chair.

Hu Qideng sat on the iron chair with his head down, with faint dark circles under his eyes, his face was pale, and he looked a little sickly.

"It's finally here." Hu Qideng said impatiently: "Is this how you federal police slander people? I said I didn't steal money. ”

The young female police officer looked at Li Changqing next to her and said, "Mr. Li, please describe the specific process when he stole your money." ”

Li Changqing looked at Hu Qideng, there was already a seventy to eighty percent possibility, it was this person in the surveillance, there would be no mistake.

Although this person's clothes have changed, his body shape, hunchback, lameness, etc., are completely in line with the conditions of the person he is looking for.

Li Changqing's voice was calmer and said: "Four days ago, I was talking to a friend in the Linmei Courtyard Community, and then I was bumped by this gentleman, and my wallet disappeared, and I lost a full 10,000 lang coins. ”

The female officer's gaze looked at Hu Qideng, obviously wanting to wait for him to refute.

Hu Qideng did not refute silently, his eyes stared directly at Li Changqing, and a strange smile appeared on his face, which seemed to carry a bit of mockery.

Seeing that Hu Qideng was silent, the female police officer reminded him: "Hu Qideng, since you said that you didn't steal the money, then please explain Mr. Li's problem." ”

"Do you still need an explanation? I am a patient with terminal lung cancer, and four days ago, I had been in the hospital for treatment, and the doctors at the hospital were all available to testify to me. Hu Qideng sat on a chair and glanced at the wall clock on the wall.

"Madam police officer, I have been taken here by you for inexplicable reasons and locked up for two hours, and I have also made an appointment with a doctor to treat my condition, if you delay my treatment just because of other people's words, you can't bear it, right?"

Psychologically, female police officers are more inclined to Li Changqing, after all, Hu Qideng is a person with a criminal record.

But when they handle cases, they pay attention to evidence.

The female officer asked, "What's your doctor's phone number?" ”

Hu Qideng said a series of phone calls with a smile, and the female police officer turned around and walked out of the interrogation room, obviously to call to verify what Hu Qideng said.

After the female police officer walked out of the interrogation room, Hu Qideng looked at Li Changqing with a gloomy expression, and said in a low voice: "Boy, don't think that I don't know what you are looking for me for." ”

He said mysteriously: "If you touch something you shouldn't touch, the shadow spirit will definitely break your neck, swallow your blood, eat your flesh, and you will die a hideous death in endless pain." ”

After Hu Qideng finished speaking, Li Changqing felt as if there was something invisible attached to him.

This is?

Curse?

Li Changqing stared at Hu Qilan and said, "Mr. Hu, are you personally threatening me?" ”

Hu Qideng shook his head: "Have you ever seen anyone who would be interested in threatening a dead person?" ”

In Hu Qideng's eyes, Li Changqing is already a dead man, this nosy guy!

Although Hu Qideng still doesn't know what this young man does, isn't the community he is talking about the place where he puts his money to buy his life? The evidence used to arrest himself is also a photo taken by the surveillance when he released the money.

Li Changqing must have something to do with this matter, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Cursed by his own shadow, he won't survive tonight.

Hu Qideng had a weird sneer on his face.

At this moment, the female police officer pushed the door and walked in, and the cold smile on Hu Qideng's face disappeared and was replaced by a faint smile: "Female police officer, can I go?" ”

The female police officer frowned and nodded, she had just called a hospital in Nanlin City to verify the situation, including the phone number and identity of the doctor provided by Hu Qideng.

After verification, it was learned that four days ago, Hu Qideng was indeed receiving chemotherapy treatment in the hospital throughout the whole process, and it should be impossible to run out and steal other people's wallets.

The female police officer opened the iron chair, took out a document and handed it to Hu Qideng, and said, "You sign this document and you can go." ”

After Hu Qideng signed, he smiled at Li Changqing, turned around and left.

"Mr. Li, it looks like we caught the wrong person." The female police officer apologized: "You made a trip for nothing." ”

"No, no, no, thank you." Li Changqing opened his mouth and said.

The female police officer was a little strange, why should she thank herself when she had caught the wrong person?

After Li Changqing walked out of the police station, Tang Xiaoyu's somewhat stammering voice came from inside the fedora: "Then, that, there is a shadow lying on his back on that man, and he is very cold, which makes me very uncomfortable." ”

Shadow?

In other words, the curse he just made to himself is probably true.

Li Changqing's heart sank slightly.

What are the strange forces in this world? He didn't know.

But when it comes to biting one's own things, behind the glamour of this world, there must be a darker side that is even less known.

After coming to this world, Li Changqing has always avoided encountering this force head-on, at least he doesn't want to encounter it until he has the power of self-preservation.

But something seems to be wrong now.

According to his own assumptions, he will provide the information of Hu Qideng next, and he will be done with the money.

What's the matter with this guy suddenly throwing a curse on himself?

And listening to the description of what Tang Xiaoyu said, this guy is probably not a mouthful.

The reason why he hunched over was because he was carrying a strange thing?

On the way back to the detective office, Li Changqing was planning what to do next.

The first step, of course, is to tell Fang Qing about Hu Qideng's situation first, no matter what, it is true to earn the money first.

Inside the detective agency.

Li Changqing sat on the sofa in the living room, holding his mobile phone: "Yes, it is a person named Hu Qideng, who has a criminal record and lives in Nantong Community. ”

Fang Qing's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Detective Li, you are really not simple, you found out so quickly, then our group will ask professionals to deal with this matter, and your remuneration will be sent to you by my assistant tomorrow." ”

"Okay."

Hanging up the phone, Li Changqing took a deep breath, and then he had to find a way to solve the problem of this curse on his body.
