Chapter 22: Role Reversal

This ten-square-sized office, with a desk, a computer, two cabinets, a row of chairs, and the walls are whitewashed and blind.

In the small space, I seemed to be claustrophobic in an instant, feeling that the air was frozen, and I was suffocated for a while, and I was a little breathless.

Li Hao, Chu Man and me, the three of them looked at each other for a long time.

Li Hao pulled the chair next to the desk, sat down, pointed with his hand, and said to us: "Sit down, according to the regular procedures, I want to take you back to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, but your situation is special, I heard that there will be a physical examination tomorrow, and it is not suitable to be discharged, so here, I will only ask you a few words briefly, I hope you two can cooperate." ”

As if I had been taken to the police station for interrogation by a real policeman, I was obedient and sat down on the row of chairs against the wall, and sat up straight, with my hands on my knees.

Li Hao frowned, leaned forward, supported his chin with his hand, stared straight at me with his eyes, sighed and said, "Why are you so wary and hostile to me?" ”

Isn't this nonsense, at first you gangs, like the underworld, rushed into the hospital, carried me in your hands, and now you are still putting me in a 'little black room'.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked.

"Didn't you say it, I'm a police officer."

"I don't believe it."

"Why?"

I looked at him, and I really couldn't say why, he looked like a policeman, but he acted in a way that was too different.

After thinking about it for a long time, I said, "Because the police don't lie." ”

He smiled, the way he laughed, very gentle and kind, the tense and cramped atmosphere, with his laughter, it was like removing the dark clouds and seeing the blue sky, which made people's tense hearts relax.

I finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, but Li Hao's face instantly became solemn, making my smile stiffen on my face.

He stared at me and said, "Who said that the police don't lie, but it also depends on what kind of lie, I don't lie openly, unless something special and I have to lie." ”

I didn't dare to speak too loudly, muttering: "Lying is lying, and there is nothing to be done." ”

"Didn't you do the same, and you lied to me."

I was shocked, looked at him and said, "I didn't lie to you. ”

He smiled and said, "You heard that Zhang Qian loves chocolate?" ”

"Yes, that old man told me."

"Ha, how could my father not know the preferences of his children, Zhang Qian has never eaten sweets since she was a child, especially chocolate."

"How is it possible, girls like sweets."

"But she can't eat it, even if she likes it, she can't eat it." Li Hao's eyes were full of inexplicable sadness.

"Why?"

He sighed softly and said lightly: "Because she has not been in good health since she was a child." After speaking, he looked at me curiously and said, "How did you see that I was lying, tell me the truth, how did you know Zhang Qian, and what else do you know?" ”

Looking into his eyes, thinking quickly in my head, trying not to make some superfluous movements, so that he can see something, because I can't trust him completely.

After thinking about it, I said, "Actually, when the old man opened his wallet, I accidentally saw the three names written on the photo in his wallet. ”

"Oh." Li Hao nodded thoughtfully and said, "That must have been written by Zhang Qian, she always writes her name on everything." ”

"Why? Is it possessive? I blurted out the question without thinking.

Li Hao shook his head and said: "She was blind because of physical illness, and when she was studying in a school for the blind, she accidentally mistook her classmates' things for her own and put them away, and was scolded by her classmates as a thief. ”

It turned out that when I saw that photo, I only saw a little girl, and I really didn't notice her eyes.

Since I saw the photo and felt that there was something to hide, I also wanted to know why, so I boldly asked: "That old man, obviously called Zhang Damin, why is Li Guomin written on all the items?" And the person you are looking for is obviously not Li Guomin, why is it called like this, is Li Guomin a fake name of Zhang Damin? ”

Li Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Li Guomin, it's not a fake name, it's not a person you said, it doesn't exist at all, he is my father." ”

"What?" I opened my mouth wide, what was going on, I felt that things were getting more and more chaotic, his name was Zhang Damin, not Li Guomin, but Li Guomin was really Li Hao's father.

What's going on, this old man has a doppelganger technique, one person with two identities.

Chu Man, who was confused, asked as if his brain had lost power, "Huh? Li Guomin is your father? Who is Zhang Damin? What is that old man's name, and who are you? ”

"Li Guomin is really my father, Zhang Damin is also equivalent to, it is my father, the two of them used to be colleagues..." ”

He sat up straight, took out the ID card with the police badge from the pocket of his jacket, opened it to show us in front of us, the photo and name on it were indeed him, the captain of the first team of the criminal investigation team, Li Hao, this time, I took a close look at it very seriously, if the document is to be faked, how can I distinguish the authenticity? Keeping the words stuck in my throat, I deliberately raised my head.

Li Hao coughed and said seriously: "What is your name, how old are you this year, and what kind of profession do you have." ”

Being asked by him so formally, the atmosphere suddenly became tense again, and I couldn't help but sit up straight, and replied seriously: "My name is Chen Xiaoting, I am nineteen years old this year, and I am now helping my father and running a pet hospital." ”

Chu Man, who was beside him, laughed out loud for some reason and said: "He is actually a king at the bottom, an unemployed vagrant who failed the college entrance examination." ”

Li Hao glanced at her and scolded softly: "Don't mess around, you're a student, it's so late, why don't you go home, a little girl, alone outside, it's very dangerous, pay attention to personal safety." ”

Well? Why didn't Chu Man ask, and he still cared about her so much, and the difference in treatment was too big.

Li Hao asked me again: "Why are you living in the hospital?" ”

Without waiting for me to say, Chu Man hurriedly said: "Because I was struck by lightning, hahahahahaha." ”

When Li Hao heard this, he wanted to laugh and endured it, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Ahem, don't make trouble, to be honest, why." ”

I glared at Chu Man, gritted my teeth and said, "It's not troublesome, it's true, I was hacked by thunder." ”

"There's such a thing, you're okay now, if you feel unwell, then go back to rest first, I'll come to you another day to ask."

"It's okay, you ask." This matter should be solved in one day, and I don't want to go through it a second time.

Li Hao looked at me with a serious expression and said, "You seem to like reasoning very much, although it is because I saw Zhang Damin's family photos, but I can find that I am lying, and I am very double-hearted, but some of what I said before is true." ”

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, part of it is much.

He took out his phone from his pocket, flicked it a few times, then turned it around and showed it in front of my eyes, and asked me, "Do you know who this person is?" ”

I looked at him a little inexplicably, and then replied, "Zhang Damin." ”

He nodded, took back his phone and said: "I think, you know his name, but you don't know his identity, he and my father Li Guomin used to be criminal investigation policemen, but twenty years ago, in a case, my father unfortunately died in the line of duty, at that time, I was seven years old, since then, Zhang Damin has taken the role of my father, has been taking care of me and my mother, he has never let go of the case that cost my father his life twenty years ago." And he has been tracking down the murderer of my father back then. He took the clues and archival materials from twenty years ago, and stepped into danger step by step alone. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said another thing: "I believe you have also seen it on the news of major media, four days ago, there was a particularly large vicious murder case in this city, this case, the method of killing, and the traces left at the scene, and a murder case 20 years ago, and it is very similar, originally to the outside world, all the news was blocked, but I don't know why, it still spread out, the victim 20 years ago, and the victim four days ago, their identity and status have a great influence in society, so this incident has been exaggerated by various media very seriously, and even the headline is marked by the reappearance of the 2.13 murder case, and the 2.13 murder case is the case that caused my father to lose his life twenty years ago. ”

"I'm not in the habit of watching the media and news, so I don't know about it, but it's May, how can it be 2.13." I was perfunctory, I couldn't say anything during this time, I was in no mood to care about anything else, I was indulged in the negative emotions of all kinds of blows, and finally I was struck by lightning and sent to the hospital.

Chu Man whispered in his ear: "It's true, you idiot, 2.13 said that it was 20 years ago, the murder on February 13, and this murder is very similar to that of 20 years ago, so it is called 2.13." ”

"When did you care about social news?"

"Only you, a foodie, have nothing else in your mind except food, this matter has spread all over the city, and when I left today, my dad was still talking about it with his friends." She gave me a blank look and said.

"You're not the same, listen to what others say."
