Chapter 15: A Piece of the Past
The conditions were almost bearable, but it was absolutely impossible for me to rely on a man.
"You sleep here, I'll go out."
"Where are you going?!" Kaneko sat up and looked at me in confusion.
"Go to the toilet." I got up and walked out of the office and hurried to the door of the bathroom at the police station.
After listening to the sound inside, I glanced at my phone again, and thinking that no one should be here at this time, I walked in with my head down.
In fact, I really don't need to face this difficult choice in Internet cafes, which are full of male and female shared toilets.
It's a pity that the police station is different, separated, in order to avoid trouble or being bumped into, I also choose the men's bathroom, as long as I walk through the rows of standing, open the door of the squatting position, everything will be fine.
"Xiaoyan? You haven't rested yet? Suddenly, Lu Lingyun's voice came out from in front of me, and I looked up in surprise, only to see that this guy was turning his back to me and pouting.
Uh... In my heart, 10,000 grass horses galloped by.
"I... I went to sleep in the toilet. Avoiding his gaze, he hurried inside.
"Well, rest early, tomorrow will be very busy."
I was embarrassed to not answer, only to hear him mumble about me.
"Stinky boy is still in a hurry, he drank too much coffee."
I secretly said in my heart: This has something to do with coffee, and I want to avoid unnecessary images getting into my eyes.
When I finished solving the problem and walked out of the toilet, I found that Lu Lingyun hadn't left, he had been standing outside waiting for me.
"Is the gold gone?"
"No, I slept in your office." I shook my head and shook the water in my hands.
"That's right, you come with me."
"Where are you going?"
Lu Lingyun looked at me with a slight smile, dimples on his cheeks.
"In fact, there is a night shift rest room in the bureau, because we are busy in the middle of the night for fear of delaying other colleagues to rest, so we didn't take you over, and now there should be no one to use this time, you go and get a good night's sleep."
I looked out through the window in the hallway of the police station, it was already dawn, and it didn't make much sense to sleep or not.
Lu Lingyun led me to the door of a room, and the tag hanging above my head said that the night shift lounge, I guess Jin Teddy must have never been here.
Pushing open the door, there were two beds inside, covered with army-green sheets, and the quilts curled up in the corners haphazardly, as if someone had just used them.
Lu Lingyun made a bed for me to lie down first, but this time he was not as sleepy as he was just now, he fell on another bed.
I opened my eyes and looked at the white roof and chatted with him.
"Brother Lu, can you tell me about the hunter?"
"You're not sleepy, aren't you?" Lu Lingyun turned to me sideways and asked curiously.
"I'm used to it, and I rarely sleep in Internet cafes."
"You're just driving young, and when you reach my age, I wish I could sleep a few more hours every day."
His words appealed to me, and I turned to face him.
"Brother Lu, how old are you now?"
"How old do you think I am?"
"Early thirties."
Lu Lingyun smiled and replied simply: "It will be thirty-three after the New Year." ”
It turned out that he was really much older than me, which should be called uncle in my hometown, so I gasped and lay back silently.
"Xiaoyan, didn't you ask me about the hunter, I'll just tell you briefly, don't tell outsiders about it?"
"Well, I promise, I'm keeping my mouth shut."
Lu Lingyun half-sat up, leaned on the pillow, lit a cigarette, and spoke eloquently.
The appearance of the hunter can be traced back to ten years ago, Lu Lingyun just joined the police force to deal with a case, the victim is a woman, headless, abandoned in the suburbs in the abandoned warehouse utility room, because there are no witnesses to the scene and there are not too many clues, so the case was once in a predicament.
Obtaining the identity information of the victim has become the key point to solve the case, Lu Lingyun and his partner at the time, a senior veteran police officer Feng Jianjun, investigated together, and finally locked the victim after a month of visiting and investigating, she is a divorced single woman, and the social relationship is very complicated, Feng Jianjun did not give up to continue the investigation, just when he got a strong clue, but accidentally encountered a car accident, and when Lu Lingyun arrived at the hospital, Lao Feng was already dying, and finally left him with only one sentence: the murderer is a hunter.
Lu Lingyun learned through the accident investigation of the car accident that Feng Jianjun was suddenly hit from behind when he was driving, causing him to lose control and hit the bridge pier, and Lao Feng was retaliated.
The vehicle used in the impact was found, but unfortunately it was a stolen car.
Lu Lingyun has been trying to investigate the case about the hunter since then, but that person seems to have disappeared out of thin air and has never appeared again.
This matter has always been a hurdle that Lu Lingyun can't get over in his heart, and when he heard Shen Mengchao mention the word hunter again in the early morning, scenes from the past appeared in front of him.
I asked him curiously: "Brother Lu, you said that there were hunters ten years ago, then Shen Mengchao said that the guy he saw was 25 or 6, could it be that the hunter started committing crimes at 16?" ”
"I'm skeptical about that, too, but now is the only time to get the most favorable clues about this guy, and whatever the truth is, you have to catch him first. What I didn't expect was that the hunter was in the city two years ago, and I thought he wouldn't dare come back, it seems that I underestimated him. ”
"Well, Brother Lu, don't worry, I'll help you with this."
Lu Lingyun nodded with satisfaction.
Although I said that I was not sleepy, I still fell asleep after chatting for a while, and when I woke up again, the sun outside the window had reached its highest point.
I rubbed my eyes and sat up to find that I was covered with a cotton police uniform, and Lu Lingyun was missing from the bed opposite.
Sober and sober walked out of the lounge, there were still police officers running in a hurry outside.
Brother Lu is not there, and neither is the gold, I learned from a beautiful policewoman that they went out to the Chengnan River at half past eight to salvage the body. I look at the wall clock on the wall, it's already half past one in the afternoon, why haven't I come back yet?
I called Lu Lingyun and waited a long time for him to answer.
The voice coming out of the microphone sounded a little impatient: "Hello? You guys go over there and try it again!! Yes, further along!! ”
"Brother Lu, it's me, haven't you caught it yet?"
"Xiaoyan~~Yes~~ I hope to have a harvest before dark at night, but I don't know if I rushed somewhere else for too long."
"Okay, can I go find the female corpse in the woods first? I think I'm pretty sure. "I looked through the records of Shen Mengchao's interrogation again in the morning, and he explained the process of the crime on June 20 two years ago, but he said that he didn't remember exactly where he was buried, because the light was very dark and there was no special reference.
"Are you going alone? No, let's wait for me and Kaneko to go back to the Police Dog Team. ”
"It's okay~~ I'll go over and go around in the middle of the day, and you and Jin Zi will go to the mountains after you are busy with the river." I insisted on leaving the city bureau, in fact, there was another reason, I didn't know anyone else here except Lu Lingyun and Jin Teddy, and it was embarrassing to stay alone.
