It's early autumn and the weather is still unusually hot.

Fang Lubai carried Shi An to the He'an community.

Because it was approaching evening, the aunts who had been chatting and chatting before all went home and began to prepare for dinner. In some open windows, the smell of food wafts out of the wind and wafts through the air like a signal to return home.

It didn't take long for the children to be like birds returning to their nests, rushing into the community in a bunch, and it was a little lively for a while.

But this excitement does not include Fang Lubai and Shi An.

Parking the car next to the community, Fang Lubai walked quickly to the target location, and Shi An followed closely behind.

Standing in front of Unit 101 of Building 2 and Unit 3, Fang Lubai rang the doorbell.

"Ding-dong-"

"Ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang continuously, but no one opened the door.

Shi An glanced at the man beside him, and the corners of his lips still had a gentle smile, but there was a little coolness in his always soft eyes.

"Yes, no...... Nobody. Shi An spoke weakly, but it was the man's strong hands that answered her.

Bringing Shi An to the side, Fang Lubai pressed his index finger to his lips to signal quiet. Shi An understood, then covered his mouth and nodded.

After a while, the door that had been pressed for a long time without responding suddenly opened a crack, seizing this opportunity, Fang Lubai's long arm stretched out and slammed the door that was originally only open a little.

At the same time, Shi An, who was under his arm, was like a nimble fish, and he got into it all at once, completely cutting off the thoughts of the people inside who wanted to close the door.

After the door was opened, Fang Lubai stepped forward and showed his ID to the man with his right hand: "Sorry for delaying you for a few minutes, we have something to verify." ”

Through the open door, the remnant sun quietly entered the room, like a lamp, making the originally dim vision instantly brighter.

Along with the illumination, there is also the man who is hiding in the house.

Her rickety spine made her look very short, as if she had never grown flesh, her rough and shriveled skin seemed to be attached to bone, and her deep-set eye sockets were a little terrible to see in the dark.

This is the old woman who secretly hid them in the shadows that day.

To be precise, the people who spy on them.

Fang Lubai thought of this, and his eyes suddenly turned a little colder.

"Auntie, we have something we want to ask you, can we?" Shi An asked softly at this time, in order to relax the old man who looked a little frightened, Shi An wanted to help her, but was waved away by the old man.

"Ah, go...... Go! ”

The old man didn't listen to Shi An's explanation, stared at the two people in front of him tightly, and even said something vaguely in his mouth, and even because he said it too quickly, saliva leaked out of his mouth a little, wetting the pair on his chest.

But the direction of the hands was clear, and she kept pointing to the door, meaning that she wanted the two uninvited guests to go out immediately.

Fang Lubai looked at the hands, which were the same as her skin, and they were also crumpled, but there was no callus on them. Although because of age, the hands are no longer as delicate and full as before, it is not difficult to see that these hands are well protected.

To be precise, the whole person is well taken care of.

Because it can be seen from what the old man said just now, if he didn't pretend to be stupid, the old man would have problems with communication and self-care, but she was neat and clean, and there was no dust in the corner of the entrance, so it could be seen that she was cleaned every day.

But before Yan Wei said that there were only two people in this family, one was the old man in front of him, and the other was her son, the young man surnamed Lin.

said before that the man went out the day after the crime, but Fang Lubai glanced at the room and found that the actual situation was a little different from the news he received.

Thinking like this, Fang Lubai bowed to the old man, and then said in a somewhat loud voice: "I was a little abrupt when I came today, please understand." After speaking, he pulled Shi An, who didn't understand the situation, and retreated.

It wasn't until the community that Fang Lubai let go of the hand that grabbed Shi An.

"Captain, you've confused me right now." While rubbing his red wrists, Shi An complained.

Seeing Shi An's red wrist pinched by himself, Fang Lubai's eyes were a little self-blaming, and he said with a little apology: "It hurt you?" As he spoke, he picked up Shi An's hand and rubbed it seriously.

Unexpectedly, a casual complaint was taken seriously, and Shi An pulled his hand away a little uncomfortably: "No, captain, you know, I just like to talk." After speaking, he didn't ask the previous questions, and walked straight to the car.

Looking at the girl's slightly stiff back, Fang Lubai shook her head helplessly, and then walked up quickly.

The car was driving on the road, and Shi An did not speak for the first time.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, Shi An turned her face sideways, but her eyes didn't catch a glimpse of the man who was concentrating on driving, and she was a little distressed in her heart.

It seems that since she was hospitalized, there has always been some strange feelings in the face of her own captain.

The man has a gentle expression, an accommodating attitude, and a careful and meticulous manner...... One after another, in Shi An's sleepless nights, they turned into a magical seed, buried in a corner that they didn't even notice, and sent out a young and immature seedling, which people could no longer ignore.

Shi An was in a state of confusion here, but Fang Lubai was still thinking about the development of the case.

This arson case is like carrying a clock, reminding Fang Lubai every moment to solve the case as soon as possible.

Yesterday, I called from above, hoping that Fang Lubai would find out the truth of the case as soon as possible, otherwise he would transfer the case to someone else. As for the original response, it is very simple, there will be leaders from S City to inspect it soon, and this inspection is likely to be related to the general direction of the future development of S City.

At such a critical juncture, the leader naturally didn't want anything to go wrong, even Fang Lubai's master, Wang Yong, the current deputy director of the S City Public Security Bureau, also spoke: "Lubai, I can help you with three days at most if I pull my face down, and if you can't find out after three days, this case may have to be transferred out." ”

Fang Lubai frowned at that time: "To whom?" ”

Deputy Bureau Wang sighed: "I don't know who to transfer it to, but we definitely can't check it here." ”

After pondering for a moment, Fang Lubai still thanked him: "I know, I'm sorry for you." ”

Everyone has their own difficulties, and a week is already the biggest concession, since this is the case, Fang Lubai must seize this time and find out the real culprit as soon as possible.

When the two arrived at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, it was completely dark.

As soon as Fang Lubai put it on the table, Yan Wei knocked on the office door.

Fang Lubai: "Enter." ”

Yan Wei pushed open the door, looking a little anxious: "Captain, we haven't found Lin Zhian's travel records. ”
