Late at night, the hotel's power supply equipment has still not been restored, and Li Xiaoai is sitting on the sofa in the lobby next to her. And Qiu Shao has already received the news from the hotel, "It is rumored that the power supply equipment caused by a special nano conductive material made of graphene has been short-circuited in a large area, and the burned equipment needs to be replaced, and there is no way to restore the power supply in a short time." ”

"Yu Yang has confirmed that someone entered the stairwell from the sixteenth floor before you got off the elevator from the sixteenth floor, it seems to be room 1604, but he can't confirm whether he is going upstairs or going down. The Hong Kong police are verifying the identity of the person, but now the tenant is not in the hotel, because there is no power and the computer cannot be restored temporarily, so it may be delayed to confirm or arrest, and it is really impossible to say where the person is at that time. Dong Jian shook his head helplessly.

Liu Lian was sitting next to Li Xiaoai, using the band-aids and disinfectant she found to help her deal with the wounds on her feet, "In short, this time it is really thanks to our little love that Zhuang Yan and that Angela will pick up a life." ”

The scheduled press conference of the original Royal Salute has been cancelled, and the results of this security incident alone show that the defensive shield has done its best to complete the mission. Although Angela was frightened, she was finally unscathed. As for the damage to the hotel's power supply equipment and elevator facilities, it can only be handed over to the police and the hotel for investigation and handling, and Defense Shield has the obligation to assist in the investigation, but is not responsible for it.

"Zhuang Yan and I stayed to deal with the aftermath and participate in the police investigation, you guys take Xiao Ai back first, you must pay attention to safety, no trace of the murderer has been found." Qiu Shao nodded at Dong Jian and Liu Lian.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." After speaking, Dong Jian and Liu Lian helped the limping Li Xiaoai and left the chaotic hotel.

She kept looking back, reluctant but silent, I waved at her, and I turned around at the same time as I turned around and walked with Qiu Shao towards the banquet hall where the police were.

The investigation lasted until the afternoon of the next day, and it was only roughly determined that the occupant of room 1604 was an ordinary tourist from the mainland, and that he had checked out before the accident, and returned to the room only because he had left his belongings. It is more likely that you will go downstairs from the 16th floor and leave the hotel after a power outage, and this alone will not be able to obtain evidence or approve arrests.

There is also a possibility that the case was operated by the hotel's internal staff, because the large hotel housekeeping truck was supposed to be placed in a dedicated cleaning room, and it was difficult for the hotel's internal staff to push it into the middle elevator without anyone detecting it. In addition, there are many suspicions about the elevator on the left that was inexplicably closed, and the police prefer to limit the suspects to the hotel staff, rather than everyone including guests, reporters, and guests who were present that night, because then the investigation would be too difficult.

Angela had already been escorted back to her garden villa the night before by a group of people after taking notes, and she had gone out of her way to find me before leaving.

"Can you keep this incident a secret for me?" Angela looked a little mysterious.

"Huh?" I don't understand what she was referring to.

"I'm very grateful to you for what happened in the process of taking the elevator up and down the stairs, but for the sake of my image, you have to keep it a secret for me anyway, and don't tell anyone." Angela's face was embarrassed, but there was a hint of remorse, "I shouldn't have treated Li Xiaoai like that, but everything is in the past, so please don't disclose these things to the public, thank you." ”

She wanted to cover it up for the sake of public image, and I nodded, "I understand this, you can rest assured, this is what I should do, no thanks." ”

"It's not what Li Xiaoai should have done, but she did it anyway, and her foot was injured because of this, and I don't know where my shoes fell." Angela's tone was full of gratitude and deep remorse.

"But if she hadn't been prevented from getting on the elevator at that time, we wouldn't have had a chance to confront each other here, so don't take it to heart."

"Yes, that's something I can't understand, maybe it makes sense that I'm still alive?" Angela's eyes were slightly glazed, as if various thoughts were churning in her mind, "I have decided to donate a portion of my income every year to help those who should be helped, to atone for the arrogance of the past." You may not believe it, but suddenly a strange thought flashed through my mind. ”

"What?" I was surprised.

"Everyone can't live alone, people like me who seem to be arrogant actually need friends more than anyone else, thank you, Zhuang Yan." Probably thinking of the amazing scene before, she actually held my hand with tears in her eyes, "Thank you." ”

"No thanks~" Maybe everyone who rubs shoulders with life and death will always change in a different way, and she really changed overnight.

After coming out of the Hong Kong Police Station, it was already getting dark, and most of the members of the second group had returned to the SAR, leaving only me and Qiu Shao, Yu Yang and Fu Dongdong to stay until now.

The setting sun sprinkled the last touch of red on the horizon, with a miserable beauty quietly sinking into the clouds, and everything is about to pass away and is reluctant to give up this prosperous moment.

"After all, there were no major mistakes, and the first time I went out to the field, I gained a lot." In the business car, Yu Yang and Fu Dongdong sat in the back row, sighing all the way.

"yes, it looks like we have a really heavy responsibility." Fu Dongdong breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Yu Yang to recall his past experience not long ago, "Although it is not as exciting as in the movie, the shootout, and the explosion scene are so exaggerated, but it is thrilling enough." ”

"Haven't you met the murderer yet? If you really encounter it, you will inevitably encounter a deathmatch, and then it will be really exciting enough. Yu Yang looked a little regretful that he couldn't show his strengths, "But then again, it's better to have less encounters with this kind of thing, and everyone is safe." I hope that the police station can solve the case as soon as possible. ”

"Actually, the hardest thing for me right now is to determine who is the target?" Qiu Shao, who had been silent all the way, suddenly spoke, "Everyone tends to believe that the target of the attack is Angela, but I don't think so. I think it's Li Xiaoai, Li Xiaoai who almost got on the elevator. ”

Hearing it in my ears, my heart trembled inexplicably, maybe I almost killed all three of us.

"Huh? Why don't you speak? What do you think? Qiu Shao asked me.

"Me? I don't know. ”

"You're the most direct person involved, and you don't even know it? It's a bit of a guess. Qiu Shao asked.

Like a child who did something wrong, the palms of the hands holding the steering wheel began to sweat, "I really don't know, maybe the authorities are a fan." ”

After listening to my words, Qiu Shao didn't continue to ask, "Xiao Ai is also pitiful enough, my father had such a thing, he was ruined, and all the sins made her a weak woman. Qiu Shao prefers to think that the target is Li Xiaoai.

"It's not fair, but there's no point in seeking revenge on her."

"yes, is it really to attack Angela? It seems that she is quite rude after she becomes famous, full of personality, but no matter how she thinks about it, she will not offend someone who is deadly. This time, the murderer is a professional among professionals, and the crime was almost successful in front of everyone's eyes, but now it is impossible to determine who it is. Qiu Shao sighed.

Listening to Qiu Shao's words, my heart felt like a needle prick, the murderer is still on the run, not only do I not know who it is, but I don't know when the next attack will be. Unless the body of the killer is presented, the chances of reluctance are slim to none.

The murderers are not identified, and the people who killed those murderers are more like shadows with nowhere to be found. I went to great lengths to kill me, so that everyone's vision thought that I was dying in the line of duty, before it was, this time it was, and when will it be next?

"What's wrong with you? With a sad face, isn't this all over? You don't have to worry about Xiaoai's affairs, Cheng Luchen and I will pay more attention, and now Dong Jian and Liu Lian are probably also very vigilant, don't worry. Qiu Shao's tone was relaxed.

There was still no talk along the way, and it was almost early in the morning when I returned to my residence in the SAR. I almost didn't sleep all night last night, and I still didn't feel sleepy when I sat on the bed today, just in response to the old saying, it's hard to fall asleep before I die, and I sleep forever after death, my death may really be close at hand, right?

For me who was about to die, everything before my life seemed so important and meaningless, if I woke up from that long sleep just to get through this meaningless life, what was it for? Time flows quietly between my fingers, but it doesn't belong to me.

Time flies, my life is like an irrelevant river, let it flow, not a stormy but always ups and downs, and now under the scorching sun, it is almost time to run out of the last drop of water, but with my disappearance must I take all the fish in this river?

The green dot on the smart dial was still lying there, she knew it, but she didn't know anything, I couldn't tell her, but what could I do? What to do?

That thought was always in my head, but I wanted to forget about it, how good it would be if nothing had happened. It would be nice to think that nothing had happened and nothing would happen in the future.

But to whom should this lie be told? Against the boundless night? But tomorrow morning, the sun will still rise as usual.

If it had to be like this, why did fate have to let me meet her? Why do you have to make such a joke when you meet?

Looking out the window at the dark night, I sat at the head of the bed and couldn't say anything, there was no answer, and I couldn't wait for the answer after all.

I have made up my mind that I can't continue to drag on as if I don't know anything. If I don't know how to fix it, at least I shouldn't bother the people around me, all the people I care about and care about me. There will always be an exit to the labyrinth anyway, although I can't find where it is yet. But inadvertently, the green dot on that wrist began to flicker again, and my heart trembled a little, and I began to unconsciously sway again...
