Lin Qingcheng slowly took off his sunglasses from his face, his eyes were a little dim when he looked at the photo, and his handsome face also showed a little sadness, and he fell into a sluggish state of trance.

Liu Tingyu picked up the paper and pen very appropriately, "Now, please cooperate with me to answer a few questions, what is the relationship between you and the deceased!" ”

"The relationship between lovers is what you call boyfriend and girlfriend!" Lin Qingcheng is mechanically authentic.

Liu Tingyu then asked: "How long have you been dating, have you lived together?" ”

"For more than half a year, a week ago we were still living in the Bauhinia apartment, and then we had a quarrel, and I went back to Taiwan." Lin Qingcheng seemed to be reminiscing about the past, and his eyes were slightly red.

After asking some foreshadowing questions, Liu Tingyu then cut to the topic: "Did the deceased have any strange behaviors before she was killed, such as emotional instability, something on her mind, or suspicious people around her!" ”

The expression on Lin Qing's face changed from a trance at the beginning, and gradually became confused, and then extremely uneasy and panicked, and he didn't know what kind of thoughts he was experiencing at the moment.

Liu Tingyu seemed to raise a heart to her throat, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, think about it carefully!" ”

After a long few minutes, Lin Qingcheng regained his previous look, put his sunglasses on his face again, but said coldly, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you!" ”

With that, he got up and said to the agent next to him who was uncomfortable: "Helen! Inform the car to pick me up, I don't want to stay here for a minute! ”

Helen couldn't wait to leave here early, and immediately took out her mobile phone from her arms to notify the driver, Liu Tingyu let out a deep sigh, she didn't expect the other party to be so uncooperative, which she didn't expect.

But judging from Lin Qingcheng's series of reactions just now, something must have happened between him and the deceased Mary, but at this moment, this question is obviously impossible to ask.

Putting down the half-made record, Liu Tingyu also got up, and without waiting for her to say anything, she saw Lin Qingcheng turn around impatiently, "If Inspector Liu still has any questions, you can go directly to my lawyer!" ”

Liu Tingyu saw that his attitude had already shown hostility, so he had to force a smile and said: "Mr. Lin, don't misunderstand, thank you for being so cooperative with my work, I will send a team of people to see you off in a while, if you think of something..."

She took a business card from the desk and handed it to Lin Qingcheng with both hands: "There is my phone number on it, you can contact me at any time!" ”

"Don't bother, the company has bodyguards and vehicles to escort me, I don't want to have any scandals with the police for the time being!"

After Lin Qingcheng finished speaking without appreciation, he still took the business card handed by Liu Tingyu, didn't say a word, and left the police station with Helen.

"It's out! It's out! Lin Shuai is out! ”

The fanatical fans who had been waiting downstairs for a long time were originally sunburned, but suddenly became lively again, and all kinds of magic weapons of flash cameras were sacrificed, scrambling to find selfie angles that could use idols as backgrounds.

A Mercedes-Benz business car drove over in time, and four foreign bodyguards fought their way through the crowd, and the short Helen was responsible for breaking the back, escorting Lin Qingcheng all the way through the thorns.

Liu Tingyu stood in front of the window and watched Lin Qingcheng get into the business car, and said to herself: "If the case is not solved for a day, we will all have insomnia!" ”

Liu Tingyu did not go home that night, but set up a temporary bed in the office, it is not the first time that she has worked overtime like this, first, because all her colleagues are working overtime, and she is embarrassed to have a moment to relax as the head of the task force.

Second, in order to save time on the way home, although the chair was uncomfortable, the nerves of the tired day were slightly relaxed, and the sleepiness of closing the eyes also followed.

At the West Kowloon Emergency Room Security Office, a police officer on duty walked out of the sentry box, and there was only one newspaper kiosk across the street in the dead of night, echoing the guardhouse that was also lit up.

The officer strode toward the newsstand, the boss leaning back in his seat and snoring, while a ball game was playing on the television next to him.

The snoring of the narrator and the boss is the only sound on the street at the moment.

He picked out a few legal newspapers from the newsstand, and without alerting the boss, he lightly threw a few coins on the table, turned around and walked back to the guardhouse with the newspaper in his hand.

This police officer's name is Liao Wei, who was also a member of the Serious Crime Unit of the West Kowloon Branch, and since the "serial disappearance of a girl" ten years ago, he took the initiative to apply for transfer to this small post box that is not noticeable, and he has been guarding it for ten years.

Sitting in a sentry box of only a few square meters, I opened the newspaper I bought and spread it on the table, when suddenly someone tapped on the glass outside.

Liao Wei looked away from the newspaper, and when he saw the man, his brows were also furrowed, as if he saw an acquaintance he didn't want to see, he ignored it, lowered his head and continued to browse the newspaper.

The man was dressed in civilian clothes, and he was also a police officer who participated in the investigation of the "serial disappearance of young girls" that year, and it was Lao Cai, a forensic medical officer of the Logistics and Internal Affairs Department of the West Kowloon Branch.

knocked on the window and no one cared, Lao Cai had to go around to the door of the sentry box, and after walking in, he found a chair to sit down, put the liquor bottle in his hand on the table, and said with a wry smile: "What?" You don't want to see me so much! ”

The bottle of liquor was placed in Liao Wei's hand, but it couldn't arouse the slightest interest from him, and said lightly: "I'm on duty, I can't drink, if you want to find someone to drink with you, you've come to the wrong place!" ”

Lao Cai turned a deaf ear to Liao Wei's coldness, unscrewed the lid of the liquor and took a sip, smacking his lips: "How long have you not been to see your sister!"

Liao Wei's hands on the table were slightly forced, and before he knew it, they had clenched into fists, and the things he had deliberately avoided all along, those wounds that had already scabbed, were ruthlessly torn apart.

After another sip of spirits, Lao Cai lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, sighing: "Do you remember the day of the celebration banquet?" At that time, there were 11 of our brothers, and the Chief Superintendent personally presented us with awards. ”

Taking a puff of cigarette, Lao Cai continued with his eyes blurred: "I still remember your sister Inspector Liao's speech to the media, she said that as a police officer, no matter how dangerous the environment is, we can only face it bravely!" ”

Xu was his words that touched some old memories, Liao Wei relieved his tense nerves a little, and his gaze became calmer.

Lao Cai's voice sank at this time, and he said faintly painfully: "But since that incident, we have only left you and I am still wearing police uniforms, they either died in an accident, or moved abroad with their families, I have been retiring in the logistics department all these years, facing corpses of various causes of death all day long, I thought that this life was just like this, mixed until retirement, holding the government's pension and waiting for death..."

Lao Cai's cigarette filled the originally small sentry box, and his words gradually fell into a low voice at the end, and he slowly lost his voice.

Liao Wei's expression began to move, and he said coldly: "You didn't come to me today to talk about this, right?" ”

"It's here again!"

Lao Cai then said: "That person's leather dancing shoes have appeared again!" ”

"How is that possible!"

Liao Wei was shocked from the seat, and said in disbelief: "This is impossible, my sister has obviously taken it..."

As if knowing that he would have this reaction, just like himself at the time, Lao Cai unhurriedly threw a photo from his pocket and continued to smoke with his head down.

Liao Wei's disbelieving gaze stopped at the photo, which was a pair of red dancing shoes, as if he would jump out of the photo in the next moment, stepping on active dance steps.

As soon as he flipped through the photo, his emotions of surprise and fear were difficult to calm down, and he instantly understood the purpose of his coming to him today.

Liao Wei shook his head categorically and said, "No! It's going to die! It's going to die! My sister warned me before the accident and told me not to touch this case again! ”

Smoking the cigarette to the root in one breath, and then exhaling a large puff of smoke, Lao Cai's expression became sharp, and he looked at Liao Wei and said: "We have been carrying the curse generated by that case for too long and too long, you may be able to escape its entanglement by staying in this small sentry box, but you will never be able to regain the lost dignity and bonds in your life!" ”

Liao Wei tightened his fist again, unconsciously snatched Lao Cai's wine bottle with his other hand, raised his head and poured a small half bottle down, his face turned red and said: "Let me think about it, think about it again!" ”

Extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it on the ground, Lao Cai got up and took out a newspaper from his arms and threw it in front of Liao Wei, leaving him with a warm smile when he left: "Your copy is not the latest!" ”

The front line of the newspaper is particularly eye-catching: "The Hong Kong police officially responded to the Bauhinia Apartment homicide case, saying that an operational task force has been set up, headed by Senior Inspector Liu Tingyu of the Serious Crime Investigation Bureau of the West Kowloon Branch, and the police are confident that the case will be cleared up within 10 days!" ”

"Wait for my call tomorrow morning, let's go see Inspector Liao together!"

When Liao Wei came back to his senses from the newspaper headlines, Lao Cai's somewhat stumbling back had already gone far.

He looked at the little liquor left in the bottle, frowned, and drank it down.

The intersection in front of Citibank on Changle Road.

Even at night, the street is full of traffic, and even though it's nearly 2 a.m., there are still many young people with a bad nightlife wandering the street.

I don't know if the liquor just now is a little too much, are you drunk?

The surrounding sounds became distorted, and his vision began to blur, and Lao Cai shook his drowsy head vigorously, waiting for the signal light at the intersection to change color.

At this time, a double-decker bus turned from the exit road, and there were only a few passengers in the car except for the driver.

When the bus passed in front of him, Lao Cai's vision immediately became clear, and at the position of the rear door, an old man with a hunched back was standing there, staring at him with straight eyes.
