Chapter 3 The police came to the door

Outside the window, the stars loomed in the sky, becoming less obvious in the bustling lights of the city, and the giant pillars of light in the distance still stood at the far end of the sky.

Qin Ruolin, who had just gotten up, was leaning against the window, brushing her teeth in a daze.

At this time, there was a knock at the door of the house, Qin Ruolin trembled in her heart, quickly rinsed her mouth, walked quickly to the door, and hid a baseball bat behind her.

"Who?" Qin Ruolin opened the surveillance video next to the door, and the activated screen showed the situation at the door.

Two men in police uniforms were standing in front of the door, and since the lighting in the corridor had not been repaired, the other party was using the light on his wrist to illuminate his face at this moment, so that Qin Ruolin could see clearly.

"We are Officer Zhao and Officer Lin of the Criminal Investigation Department of Donglin District." The middle-aged man raised the document in his hand at the surveillance camera: "It seems that there was a case of wounding some time ago, and we are doing a search, hoping to go in and ask you a few questions." ”

Because of her profession as a journalist, Qin Ruolin is no stranger to the documents of law enforcement agencies, so with a little discrimination, Qin Ruolin confirmed the authenticity of the documents. However, she immediately noticed the wounding case that the police officer said, and couldn't help but think of Gong Bing.

After opening the security door and leading the two police officers into the house, the three of them sat down in the small living room.

"According to the landlord, there are only two households in this building, and Miss Qin Ruolin is one of them." Officer Zhao took off his hat and put it on the coffee table, then opened the fluorescent screen in his hand and asked.

Qin Ruolin nodded while handing the water cup to the two of them.

"May I ask if you were at home on the night of the 23rd of last month." Officer Lin on the side reached out and took the water glass, and Officer Zhao then asked.

Qin Ruolin chuckled in her heart, wasn't that the night Gong Bing killed people? She remembered the date clearly.

"It seems to be...... At home, I don't usually go out much except for work. ”

"That's right, did you notice anything unusual happening in the neighborhood that night? For example, a nearby resident neighbor? Qin Ruolin's momentary hesitation and nervousness all fell in the eyes of Officer Zhao.

Qin Ruolin was very nervous at the moment, she felt that the palms of the hands holding each other seemed to become slimy, how to weigh the murderer and the life-saving benefactor, rolling in her mind.

Without waiting for Qin Ruolin to answer, Officer Zhao continued: "Do you know this person?" ”

With that, Officer Lin, who was sitting next to Officer Zhao, lit up the screen on his wrist, revealing a photo of a young man.

"I just know that the other party's name is Gong Bing, and I've only met a few times by chance, and others... Other circumstances are less clear. Qin Ruolin said nervously, anyway, the name is nothing, the police officer will definitely be able to find out, and other things will not be clear, at least he was not sold, just when I returned the life-saving grace to him.

Hearing this, Officer Zhao and Officer Lin glanced at each other, and Officer Lin continued: "Miss Qin, as far as we know, when it was almost dawn in the early hours of last night, someone saw you walking out of the next building, and it is understood that there are no other guests in the next building except for the person named Gong Bing, can you explain?" ”

Hearing Officer Lin's words, Qin Ruolin's heart became flustered.

"We believe that Miss Qin is a good citizen who abides by the law and is definitely willing to cooperate with our work, this man named Gong Bing is now the object of suspicion in a case of wounding, so if Miss Qin has any clues about the situation, please let us know, if you are coerced by the other party, then you should trust us to protect you." Officer Zhao has good facial features and hard lines, which gives people a very reliable feeling with his identity as a police officer, and his words are like Wen Xi's breeze that makes Qin Ruolin's mood slowly calm down.

understands that the other party has already mastered a lot of clues, and there is no point in hiding it, and it is not good for herself.

After sighing secretly, Qin Ruolin told her about what happened that night and last night.

In the end, Qin Ruolin sent the two police officers to the door.

Before leaving, the older officer Zhao turned back to her and said: "Thank you very much for your cooperation with our work, the other party may be a vicious gangster, so for the sake of safety, I hope you can keep your mouth shut, and please keep the communication open, so that we can contact you at any time." ”

Sending the police officer away, returning to her room and sitting down, Qin Ruolin's eyes wandered between the furniture in the room, looking like she was in a daze, many things were tumbling in her mind, one second she thought of Gong Bing's bland look, and the next second she remembered the bowl of noodles last night, but another second she recalled the scene of his murder.

The young man seemed to have a hard time connecting with the murderer, as if he was in the orange and yellow room again, sitting at the dining table, looking down at the steaming noodles that night, and when he looked up, the black-haired man was smiling at him, but the other party was obviously not smiling at him that night.

Would such a person really do something murderous?

When she came back from the chaotic meditation and found that she was already standing on the edge of the balcony, Qin Ruolin naturally lowered her head and looked downstairs, just in time to see the two police officers cross the iron door and walk into the building next door, under the fragmentary reflection of the street lamp, she saw the two police officers take out the pistols on their waists.

Her mind was clouded all of a sudden, and she didn't have time to think about it, so she pushed open the door and ran downstairs.

Maybe he has his own troubles, maybe the person who died is a bad person, Qin Ruolin has all kinds of reasons in his mind for Gong Bing, all kinds of reasons that can support his actions now.

Coming downstairs, the rusty iron door leaned aside, looking at the dark corridor, Qin Ruolin hesitated again.

What the two police officers were holding just now was obviously not an ordinary police weapon, but a military high-frequency pistol, as for why she would be able to tell the difference as an ordinary citizen, because the appearance of the two pistols was too different, so that people could see it at a glance.

The other party wants to kill Gong Bing directly!! Why?

She didn't have time to think about it, gritted her teeth, and finally walked into the corridor.

The hallway was very quiet, and in the seemingly endless staircase, she could hear her own nervous heartbeat.

Why is it so quiet, is Gong Bing not at home, and the two police officers pounced?

In an instant, Qin Ruolin was a little happy, but then she thought that she could escape once but not for a lifetime, if he was really a murderer, it would be difficult to escape the punishment of the law after all, thinking of this, she was worried again.

When she finally reached the top floor, she saw that Gong Bing's door was open, and orange lights were coming from inside.

At this moment, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground sounded from inside, and a low moan came from the room, and Qin Ruolin remembered that it was Officer Zhao's voice.

She hurriedly walked over, only to see Officer Zhao sitting on the ground with his back against the wall, a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and the pistol fell not far in front of him, and the silent Officer Lin was also lying on the ground near the door, life and death unknown.

Qin Ruolin had never encountered this kind of scene when she was so old, as if the picture of the plot of the movie made her not know how to react for a while.
