He immediately said in a happy tone: "Really? That's great, I'm relieved to have your words, you can rest early. ”

"Hmm." I nodded secretly.

He couldn't see my tiredness on the other end of the phone.

After hanging up the phone, I silently lowered my right hand and looked at the bright light, in a daze.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. I subconsciously looked over and asked, "Is it Zheng Li?" ”

"It's me, may I come in?" Zheng Li asked.

I immediately put my phone aside and said with a smile, "Okay, you can come in." ”

Zheng Li pushed open the door and walked in directly.

When she came in, she crossed her arms around her chest and looked at me, breathing a long sigh of relief helplessly.

"Did you hear all that?" I asked.

She nodded lightly and said, "And then you promised Director Chen like this?" ”

"yes!" I whispered, "I don't want him to worry after all, I hope he can get a good night's sleep too." ”

After Zheng Li breathed a long sigh of relief, she frowned and said, "So you sold yourself for a good night's sleep?" ”

"How do you say that?" I asked with a wry smile.

Zheng Li's face sank, and she said a little unhappily: "Isn't it?" I can tell you promised the impossible. ”

"I'll be able to do it, you go get some rest." I say.

She also stood here for a while and looked at me for a while. Then, she nodded and said, "Okay, you can think about it yourself, I'll go out first." With that, she turned and left.

I didn't get a good night's sleep that night. Because my mind is only active, I think about these three murders.

The next day, as soon as I returned to the police station, Xiao Liu saw it and asked me, "Officer Lu, didn't you sleep well yesterday?" ”

I smiled secretly and wanted to do an autopsy, but it didn't.

After looking at Xiao Liu for a few seconds, I said softly: "Don't talk about it, let's talk about the case!" ”

Hearing me say this, Xiao Liu Dengshi let out a "hmm" sound, like a fish in his throat. It seems that this case is also a headache for him.

He pulled the chair across from me, sat down, looked at me and said, "Officer Lu, I feel that time is too tight, don't you think?" If the murderer does not commit any more crimes and does not reveal his flaws, our case will become a headless public case, and it will never be solved. ”

Hearing Xiao Liu say this, I also knew it in my heart. So I secretly raised my hands and clasped my chest. At the same time, I lowered my eyes and thought very seriously.

After thinking for a while, I saw Xiao Liu raise his right hand and shake it in front of me, so I quickly raised my eyes and looked at him, "Huh? Is there something wrong? ”

I only heard him say: "Officer Lu, in fact, do you think Zhu Ling has the possibility of committing a crime?" ”

"Why do you ask?" I asked, surprised.

Xiao Liu muttered for a while before he said to me: "If apart from the male corpse on the basketball court that day, I really think Zhu Ling is very suspicious." ”

"But you have to come up with evidence." I say.

Xiao Liu said: "I have already investigated her information, and I know that her childhood was not happy, and she has a father who often beats and scolds her." ”

"Wait a minute." I raised my hand to stop Xiao Liu from continuing, "Actually, even if you know this, what can you do? After all, we are all very clear by now, that is, Zhu Ling has alibi. ”

"yes." Xiao Liu secretly lowered his head, "But I still feel that she is very suspicious." ”

I smiled faintly and didn't speak.

The case was delayed for two days without progress. There are only five days left before the deadline given to me by Chen Fang.

Xiao Liu was very anxious, so he came to my office again and asked me, "What should I do?" Officer Lu, there are only five days left for Director Chen, and we are not nervous at all. ”

Seeing that he looked like he was burning his buttocks, I looked at the chair and said, "Sit!" ”

He didn't want to sit down, so he remembered pacing back and forth in front of me, and said, "If the police are under pressure from the news media, then the superiors will definitely hold us accountable for Director Chen." Director Chen would come and ask me, alas, really annoying! ”

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but smile and ask, "Where did you put me?" Even if Chen Fang wants to be held accountable at that time, he will hold me accountable first, and then I will hold you accountable, okay? But do you think I will? ”

Hearing me say this, Xiao Liu calmed down. But there was no happy look on his face, and the look between his eyebrows was even more worried.

Seeing him looking at me in a daze, I smiled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said to me, "Officer Lu, will you be transferred then?" Or dismissal? ”

"If I was dismissed without solving a case, wouldn't I be too wronged? It's okay, you don't have to worry about it. "Actually, when it comes to pressure from my superiors, I'm really not worried.

My biggest fear at the moment is that the killer will continue to kill.

However, Xiao Liu and Xiaokang's inner thoughts are the opposite of mine. Because they felt that the murderer was not wrong to kill those men.

Xiao Liu saw that I was so calm, so he sat down slowly and said to me: "Officer Lu, I have checked all the clues that can be checked in the past few days. But apart from Zhu Ling's suspect, I really can't think of anyone else who is suspicious. ”

"Why are you so obsessed with Zhu Ling being a suspect?" I asked.

Xiao Liu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said, "Because Zhu Ling herself is really suspicious!" And before she went to the basketball court that day, she looked like she almost confessed. ”

"Is there one?" I remembered that it was Xiao Liu who interrogated her that day, and I didn't care much, "Okay, what else?" ”

Xiao Liu secretly recalled for a while, and then said: "Also, when she heard that someone was killed, that look made me feel so strange." I'm not as good as you, so I can't tell you what that look is. But I really think that her expression is like she knew it for a long time and was a little surprised. ”

"You mean, she might know who the killer is?" I asked.

Xiao Liu nodded affirmatively.

After some consideration, I came to Zhu Ling's house again and brought Zhu Ling back directly.

After she was brought back, we had no evidence and could only interrogate her. But no matter what we asked her, she didn't answer.

"Are you going to say it or not?" Xiao Liu was a little anxious, so he accentuated his tone.
