Li Xiaomeng's weird smile made Lu Tao, who was sitting on the ground, shudder, not to mention his back at the moment, Lu Tao even had cold sweat on the soles of his feet, his mind was blank, and he kept shivering up and down; The scene in front of him suddenly overwhelmed Lu Tao, although he had thought about the scene in front of him countless times before, but when everything really became reality, Lu Tao still collapsed, any luck was disillusioned at this moment, and it was Li Xiaomeng who hung not far away, although it was unrecognizable at the moment, but he could still recognize it at a glance, besides, in this apartment, besides her, who else could there be?

Lu Tao lowered his head, he didn't dare to look directly at Li Xiaomeng anymore, he swallowed his saliva hard, and countless thoughts began to flash in his mind, but in the end he still trembled and took out his mobile phone and dialed the police, no matter what, Li Xiaomeng committed suicide, even if he was negligent, but compared to murder, it can basically be said that it is irrelevant, now he wants to clear his guilt as soon as possible, so as not to let himself fall deeper and deeper, the phone is finally connected, Lu Tao said in a trembling voice: "110?" I... I reported the crime, Lin Hai Apartment... Someone hanged themselves... ”

Twenty minutes later, the police arrived at the scene, accompanied by an ambulance, everyone present was shocked by the scene in front of them, after the woman at the door woke up, she was scared again, a handful of snot, a handful of tears crying that she was going to move overnight tonight, and she didn't dare to live here anymore, and a trainee little nurse was disgusted by the tragic situation of Li Xiaomeng's corpse.

Li Xiaomeng's body was put down by the police, leaving a dark black strangulation mark on his neck, and the wound at the strangulation mark had begun to show signs of decay at this time, because Li Xiaomeng's death was too terrifying, the police also quickly found a white cloth to cover it, and started an investigation at the scene.

Lu Tao was helped up by the police, but until this moment his legs were weak and weak, so he could only barely stand with his back against the wall.

Li Xiaomeng's body was still placed in the living room, which had been completely covered with a white cloth at the moment, Lu Tao looked at it from a distance, the feeling of fear was not reduced at all, I don't know why, he always felt that Li Xiaomeng would suddenly sit up, and then like in a nightmare, rushed over and choked his neck with both hands... So his gaze didn't dare to leave Li Xiaomeng for a moment, and his eyes stared straight ahead. At this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on Li Xiaomeng's hand, the white cloth was not tightly covered, and Li Xiaomeng's left arm was completely exposed, only to see her left hand clenched into a fist, as if she was holding something tightly in her hand.

Driven by curiosity, Lu Tao inexplicably came to the courage, stepped into the door of the apartment, and walked over tentatively step by step, every step was under great fear, and finally he came to a place only one step away from Li Xiaomeng, he looked carefully at Li Xiaomeng's hand, and suddenly, he was so surprised that he almost cried out, it turned out that Li Xiaomeng was holding his key tightly in his hand! Lu Tao suddenly remembered what Li Xiaomeng said that night at this time: "When I reach my first seven, I will definitely come to you... ”

Lu Tao's legs suddenly became weak again, and he slowly slid down against the wall. She took the key... Are you really planning to come to me? Lu Tao didn't dare to think about it anymore, his chest rose and fell violently again, and he stared at Li Xiaomeng's key tightly, feeling terrified from the bottom of his heart.

Suddenly, Lu Tao didn't know where he got the courage, and he rushed to Li Xiaomeng's body and pulled the key in her hand hard, but Li Xiaomeng's stiff body had already held the key tightly, and Lu Tao couldn't take it out after pulling it hard several times... Lu Tao stretched out another hand, ready to pull Li Xiaomeng's fingers away, although the room was hot now, the moment he touched Li Xiaomeng's hand, Lu Tao felt like he had touched an ice cube; But now Lu Tao can't take care of this much, what he wants is to take out the key as soon as possible, but the more anxious he is, the more he can't take out the key, Li Xiaomeng's hand is extremely stiff, Lu Tao finally gritted his teeth and broke it, only to hear a "click", the bones of Li Xiaomeng's fingers were broken by Lu Tao, the index finger of his left hand turned outward and pasted to the back of his hand, Lu Tao lost his center of gravity due to too much force, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, but even so, the key was still not taken out, Lu Tao never expected this, could only look at Li Xiaomeng's hand in a daze, shocked and frightened.

Suddenly!!! Someone behind him yelled, "What are you doing?" Originally, Lu Tao was already a little panicked, but this roar frightened him so much that he hurriedly held his head in his hands, and almost didn't cry. It turned out that it was the police who were cleaning up the scene who were yelling, he walked over, leaned over to look at Li Xiaomeng's turned fingers, looked at Lu Tao again, and said angrily: "What are you doing here?" Deliberately destroying the scene must be done firmly! ”

Lu Tao was drunk like this, and he had already lost his sense of proportion, and said in a trembling voice in a panic: "That... That's me... The key! ”

The policeman pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose with his hand, looked at the key in Li Xiaomeng's hand, and then turned his head to look at Lu Tao, and suddenly had doubts in his heart, and asked, "How can your key be in the hands of the deceased?" What is your relationship? ”

Lu Tao hesitated for a moment, and replied in a trembling voice: "Before... Colleague, rent... Household relations! ”

The policeman stared at Lu Tao with sharp eyes, and did not answer immediately, Lu Tao was weak-hearted, and he didn't dare to look directly at the policeman who was handling the case, so he quickly turned his gaze away, and the policeman finally said: "You can't go, after investigating the scene in a while, follow me back to the bureau to cooperate with the investigation." ”

Lu Tao replied hesitantly: "Hmm! He didn't dare to speak anymore, and of course he didn't dare to take the key in Li Xiaomeng's hand again, so he could only crawl out of the apartment door and look at it from afar.

An hour later, after the police finished investigating the scene, Lu Tao was taken back to the police station to assist in the investigation, and before leaving, he squinted at the key in Li Xiaomeng's hand, and was very unwilling! But I didn't know that a gust of wind suddenly blew from there, and the white cloth on Li Xiaomeng's body was blown away, revealing Li Xiaomeng's terrifying face again, Lu Tao was so frightened that he screamed, he didn't dare to look back, and hurriedly followed the police away.

The police interrogated Lu Tao for a whole night, and a large number of clothes and daily necessities were found in the apartment, and the tenant relationship was confused. When it was almost dawn, the police officer in charge of interrogation received an autopsy report, and the autopsy results confirmed that Li Xiaomeng died of suffocation due to neck tightening, and there were no other fatal injuries on his body.

The police were very ashamed of Lu Tao's behavior, and after reading the autopsy report, they slapped it heavily on the table, staring at Lu Tao coldly, and did not speak. Lu Tao was taken aback at first, and then asked with some flattery: "Comrade police, have you investigated clearly?" I should be okay to go, right? ”

The policeman sneered and replied, "Not legally for the time being!" I don't know if you can get by on your conscience, one corpse and two lives... ”

One corpse, two lives! Lu Tao felt a "buzz" in his head, it turned out that Li Xiaomeng really didn't lie to him, but what's the use of thinking about it now? He hesitated for a moment, then slowly asked, "So... When can I go? ”

The policeman looked down at his watch and replied, "It's almost six o'clock!" Let's go on time at half-past six! But don't leave Yunzhou City in the near future, we will find you to assist in the investigation at any time if there is a situation! ”

Lu Tao nodded solemnly and asked, "Why wait until half past six?" ”

The policeman replied: "Your family has been informed, she should be on her way here, and you can leave after a while when she comes and signs, and sit here for a while." After that, without waiting for Lu Tao to ask again, he got up and walked out of the interrogation room.

Notify the family! Lu Tao was immediately shocked in his heart, it seemed that Xu Yuan couldn't hide it, he really didn't know how to explain to her when something like this happened, besides... One corpse, two lives! Xu Yuan will never accept it... The more Lu Tao thought about it, the more restless he became, but he was helpless.

The time finally came to half past six, a policeman came in and took Lu Tao out, just out of the interrogation room, Lu Tao saw Xu Yuan from a distance, but she was not as angry as Lu Tao expected, but full of anxious expression, when she got closer, Xu Yuan hurriedly asked with concern: "Are you okay?" ”

Lu Tao shook his head and said with some embarrassment: "I... ”

Xu Yuan raised her hand to interrupt Lu Tao's words, and said first: "Don't talk about it first, you'll be fine, and the rest will go home and talk slowly." ”

Lu Tao suddenly felt a trace of comfort in his heart, the uneasiness just now had disappeared in an instant, he turned to look at the police behind him, and asked, "May I go?" The policeman didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Xu Yuan stretched out his hand and hugged Lu Tao, and slowly walked towards the outside of the hall. Suddenly, an old man sitting in the corner of the hall attracted Lu Tao's attention, only to see that he was dressed plainly, his hair had already been thinned and gray, his cheeks were unusually thin, the wrinkles on his face were so deep that they had sunk down, his skin was dark, his palms were like dead wood, and he was wiping his eyes that were already red and swollen vigorously.

Xu Yuan noticed Lu Tao's gaze, so he whispered: "He is Li Xiaomeng's father!" She's actually... It's strange and pitiful, my mother left early, my father came from the countryside overnight, I just heard the police say that the old man has been crying here for hours alone... ”

After hearing this, Lu Tao turned his head to look at Xu Yuan, he didn't know what to say for a while, he turned his head to look at the old man again, the old man happened to look up at Lu Tao at this time, Lu Tao hurriedly avoided the old man's eyes, and pulled Xu Yuan out of the hall as soon as possible...
