Chapter 375: A Narrow Encounter
"Me?"
Chu Ge was slightly stunned.
"If it's inconvenient for you, forget it, I know that you awakened people are very busy cultivating, I just saw Lao Yan just now, and I heard him talk about you, I didn't expect everyone to be so fateful, so I wanted to ask you to get together - Xiaofei's corpse, didn't you find it?"
Zhao Tieshan Road.
Yan Tieshou and Hong Lei are old brothers in the army, and many people in Zhao Tieshan's criminal police brigade are veterans, and they are inextricably linked to each other.
This time, the only son of a veteran was killed by the traverser by extremely brutal means, which also aroused the indignation of many veterans, both Yan Tieshou and Zhao Tieshan wanted to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible.
Zhao Tieshan knew that Chu Ge had also been paying attention to the "Yanluo case", so he took the initiative to invite him.
"I'm convenient, and I'm okay today."
Chu Ge paused for a moment and hesitated, "That's it, are people welcome me to go?" β
Chu Ge and Hong Lei had a one-sided relationship.
It was outside the urban village on Garbage Street that he saw Hong Lei sitting there very lonely.
Hong Lei's face may be the most pathetic expression he has ever seen in his life.
Moreover, Chu Ge saw Hong Lei's son Xiaofei with his own eyes, the miserable corpse, he really didn't know how to face this middle-aged man who lost his son and lost hope.
However, after thinking about it, since this case was first discovered by him, and the murderer has not been caught until now, it seems that he also has the responsibility to comfort the victim's family.
At the very least, he can tell Hong Lei in person that Xiao Fei should be painless and leave instantly - whether this is true or not, at least he can give the victim's family some relief.
"Welcome, of course welcome, how can it not be welcome?"
Zhao Tieshan helped Hong Lei to call the shots, "Lao Hong is a poor man, as soon as his son died, his entire backbone seemed to be pulled out, he couldn't keep up his spirits these days, and it looked like he was stuck in a swamp and dying, but it's a pity that our police, wasted so much time, and still didn't catch the murderer, to be honest, I don't know where to put my old face."
"Chu Ge, you are the newly rising popular fried chicken of the very association, many people say that you are a lucky star, even if it is a coincidence, you may be bumped into by a clue, you come here, let's talk to Lao Hong, maybe we can burst out of some inspiration?"
"Popular fried chicken?"
Chu Ge thought of some half-male and female guys scratching their heads and posing, and couldn't help but shudder, "What is this!" β
"Anyway, let's talk about it, I'll send the address to your phone."
Zhao Tieshan said, "It just so happened that everyone had a meal together, Lao Yan said that he hadn't seen you for a long time, and wanted to have a good chat with you!" β
"Okay."
Zhao Tieshan said so, and Chu Ge had nothing to twist, so he readily agreed.
Hong Lei's house is not too far from the Extraordinary Association, and it is also a dilapidated old community similar to the Happy Community.
In the aftermath of the apocalyptic earthquake, a large number of such ugly and sturdy residential buildings were built throughout the Pacific Rim, like patches of gray-brown concrete forests, solving the survival problems of hundreds of millions of people.
Today, decades later, those who have the ability to move out have moved out, and those who still live here are often those at the bottom of society, those who grow silently like weeds.
Walking through the greasy corridor and holding on to the escalator with a plastered hand, Chu Ge found Room 302 of Unit 4 and knocked lightly on the door.
Footsteps rang out inside.
Suddenly, for no reason, Chu Ge's heart seemed to be stabbed by a shadowless and invisible steel needle, and he subconsciously covered his heart with his right hand, and put his left hand on his waist.
When Chu Ge reacted, he found that his muscles around his body were tense, and he put on a defensive posture of full vigilanceβhis right arm protected the vital point on his chest, and his left hand was tightly clasped on the dagger at his waist.
"What, what?"
Chu Ge was stunned.
The hairs on the back of the head stood up one by one, and at the tip of each hair, there was a bead of sweat the size of a soybean.
It's as if it's not a human being who opens the door to him inside, but some kind of ...... Extremely devastating monsters!
The feeling was only for a moment.
Then, the stinging pain in the heart disappeared without a trace.
The door lock made a slight "click" sound, and the door opened, revealing Hong Lei's old, pathetic, and sad face.
"You ......"
Hong Lei seemed taken aback.
Didn't Zhao Tieshan and Yan Tieshou tell him that they were coming?
Chu Ge was a little embarrassed, but he still stubbornly said: "Hello Uncle Hong, I'm Chu Ge, I've been tracking down Xiaofei's case, I ......"
Hong Lei frowned, turned his head to look into the house.
"Lao Hong, let's invite Chu Ge to talk about it, maybe we can talk about any clues that can help Xiaofei avenge his hatred?"
Zhao Tieshan said, "You should know who he is, right?" β
Hong Lei tilted his head and thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I know." β
He turned sideways and let Chu Ge in.
Chu Ge was still pondering the intuition of the danger that had no reason just now.
It's impossible, there are only three people in the house, Hong Lei, Zhao Tieshan and Yan Tieshou, no matter which one they are, they don't look like they can pose such a big threat to themselves.
Could it be that he is indeed as President Yu and promised to say, that his cultivation during this period of time is too crazy and nervous?
Chu Ge said hello to Zhao Tieshan and Yan Tieshou, and looked at the small hut by the way.
The house is a one-bedroom layout, both the bedroom and the living room are very small, the living room is a dojo in a screw shell, and a folding marching bed is placed in the corner, and the pillows on it are still neatly spread and spotless.
There is a niche nailed to the top of the marching bed, which is placed with Hong Fei's black and white photos and candle incense burners, and there are some toys that boys often play with at the head of the bed, it seems that this is where Hong Fei usually sleeps, although he has passed away, Hong Lei still maintains the furnishings here, Zhao Tieshan and Yan Tieshou naturally dare not sit on it.
Hong Lei had a sad face, didn't want to talk more, and mechanically helped Chu Ge make a cup of tea.
Chu Ge was about to say thank you, his eyes crossed Hong Lei's shoulder, saw the trash can in the kitchen, and was suddenly stunned.
After only half a second, he withdrew his gaze, took the tea, and hid the doubts in his eyes deeply.
"Lao Hong, I heard that you took away that maintenance shop?"
Yan Tie blew the tea foam for a long time, he didn't know how to speak, gritted his teeth, or got straight to the point, "You go back...... What's the plan? β
"Take it away."
Hong Lei sat down cautiously at the end of his son's folding bed, put his hands on his knees, and said calmly, "I used to work so hard for Xiaofei, but now that Xiaofei is gone, what else do I have to toss?"
"Anyway, there is a discharge allowance every month, and the whole family is not hungry after one person eats enough, I have worked hard for so many years, it is time to rest and rest."
"Good rest, good rest."
Yan Tieshou scratched the back of his head with a mechanical prosthetic for a long time, and said a little clumsily, "A few of our old brothers who retired from the army together are very concerned about you, things are already like this, you still have to take care of your body, you should eat, you should sleep, you should rest, you should rest, if you have anything, feel free to talk to us, okay?" β
"Okay, okay." Hong Lei nodded.
"You said the same thing last time, but then you didn't look for us, and we had to come to you in person."
Yan Tieshou smiled dryly, "If you have time, go out to eat and drink, don't be bored at home alone, and stuffy yourself - Xiao Fei has a spirit in the sky, seeing you so sad, doesn't he have to be sad too?" β
"Hmm." Hong Lei replied sullenly, his eyes flushed red again.
"Lao Hong, don't worry, in Xiaofei's case, we have been mobilizing elite soldiers and strong generals, smashing all resources, and spreading the net, I believe that the real murderer will be caught soon and give you an explanation."
Seeing his appearance, Zhao Tieshan hurriedly said.
"That's right, the Extraordinary Association is also focusing on this mysterious murderer."
Chu Ge looked at Hong Lei, and suddenly said, "I won't tell you, Uncle Hong, I was almost about to catch the murderer's tail, a week ago, I met the murderer in a narrow way, fought three hundred rounds, and almost left the murderer behind, although he was still escaped by the murderer in the end, but he left a lot of evidence and clues, and it was only a matter of time before he was caught." β
"Really?"
Hong Lei raised his eyebrows, showed a very grateful look, rubbed his hands and said, "Then, then please Brother Chu, I thank you for Xiaofei!" β
"It's okay, it should be."
Chu Ge smiled and said unexpectedly again, "By the way, Uncle Hong, I'm a little hungry, do you have anything to eat here?" β
