After driving for two and a half hours in a row, I arrived at my destination, during which time I had fallen asleep in the car several times, and every time I woke up, I could only find that it was a little later outside, and I looked at the police in front of me and looked a little tired, and I couldn't bear it, and said several times: "Why don't you rest first, don't worry." ”

He shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's coming soon, there was almost no rest time when I used to handle cases, so you don't have to worry, we police are like this, if I don't solve this case, I won't rest at ease." ”

I didn't dissuade him anymore, looking at the scenery outside, I didn't even know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up again because the car stopped, my body instinctively leaned forward, this movement woke me up, and I said in a daze: "Have you arrived?"

Xiao Liu looked at me and just woke up and said, "It's here, let's get out of the car." ”

I mumbled in a daze, my sleeping eyes were a little red, it looked like I hadn't slept for several days, I pushed the car door and walked down, Xiao Liu stood beside me a little worried, I saw that he was a little uncomfortable and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

He looked at me and said, "If you don't feel comfortable after going in, you can come out, just leave anything to me to do, I'm used to it, maybe their mood fluctuates too much after going in, I hope you can accept it, after all, they have lost their most important relative." ”

He spoke very tactfully, but I also understood the meaning of this, they may be very resistant after entering, these are all I must accept, I smiled at him and said: "It's okay, you don't have to worry about me, I'm a big person!"

He looked at my heartless smile before he was relieved, I walked in with him, Xiao Liu stood at the door and knocked on the door, this is an old-fashioned apartment, it seems that it has not been renovated for many years, the outside wall has begun to peel off the paint, and a slight touch of the arm will leave a lot of white wall ash.

This is the fifth floor, the elevator does not even have the surrounding lights, it is equipped with old-fashioned sensor lights, but it has long been useless, most of the people who live here are elderly, and the noise is very loud when going up the stairs, so they should have heard it.

Xiao Liu rang the doorbell at the door, I looked at the doorbell and felt that the doorbell was broken, so I knocked on the door, at this time there was a little movement in the door, and someone would come to open the door later, it was an old man with white hair, he looked at me very strangely, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Liu, the expression on his face was completely cold, he looked at Xiao Liu and said coldly: "What are you still doing here, how many times have I said that I don't want to see you policemen again." ”

Saying that, I was going to close the door, I quickly stopped it, and held the doorknob with my hand, although this look is very impolite, but only cheekiness can do things, so I will be cheeky to the end, when the old man asked me what I was doing, I said: "I came to ask something, and I will leave after asking, if you don't agree to me."

Standing here all the time. ”

He looked at me as hopeless, turned around and walked away in a chic manner, and said as he walked: "Then you stay here, I see how long you can stay, is it interesting to use the same means as at that time, I didn't see you so concerned about my son's case." ”

I looked at Xiao Liu in amazement and asked in a low voice, "Did you also use this method at that time?"

At this time, I leaned forward slightly, leaned forward with one leg against the crack in the door, held the doorknob with one hand, and put my head into the crack of the door to watch, Xiao Liu looked at me like this and said: "Yes, the captain used the same method as you at that time, but you are not as ruthless as him." ”

I snorted lightly, he can't compare to me in terms of cheekiness, then an old man came out of the door, I knew that she was very kind when I looked at her, and then I quickly changed my face and said: "Grandma, you just let me in, don't I just didn't do my job well, the leaders have scolded me, you still treat me like this, I'm going to cry." "I cried as I spoke.

The last thing the old man could see was that the child was crying, and the grandmother on the other side of the door hurriedly walked over to me, held my hand and said, "Girl, what's wrong with you?"

I looked at her and immediately pretended to be teary-eyed and choked up, "I didn't do my job well, and I was sad and wanted to come back for dinner, but my grandparents didn't want me to come over, it's so sad." ”

The old grandmother immediately took my hand and took me in, and said to him coaxingly: "You can't be so ruthless if this work is not done well, let the girl suffer so much, and don't even let people eat, I see that you are not cooking, Lao Wang, you can't be so partial." ”

The old man looked at me with a thunderous expression, but he couldn't explain it in front of the old woman, so he just stood there silently.

The old grandmother looked angry when she saw him indifferent, pointed at him and said: "You can't educate your child without food, and she can't skip food no matter how wrong she is at work, you just lack communication, and they all say that there is a generation gap between the elderly and children now, you just sit down and talk about it." With that, he pushed me to the table.

When I succeeded, I said to my grandmother, "Thank you, grandma, next time I will come to your house to sit." ”

The old grandmother looked at me very much, and said happily: "Okay, next time I'll make you something to eat, I see that you are a girl who is likable, and if you can't solve any problems at work, tell them, I still feel sorry for you." ”

I hummed and said, "Okay, grandma, go out and get busy, you seem to be busy." ”

She nodded and said, "Okay, you must come to my place for dinner next time." After saying that, he walked out and closed the door, Xiao Liu gave me a thumbs up gesture, and I began to be complacent.

The old man saw me sitting at the dinner table and immediately became angry, slapped the table and startled me, he said violently: "You little girl can't understand the words, didn't I tell you not to come in, I don't welcome you here, if you don't want to be driven away by me, feel a little conscious."

”

I still sat there and looked up at the old man and said, "I won't leave until the matter is settled, and even if you beat me now, I won't be able to leave." ”

This made him angry instantly, took out a stick and pumped it directly on my body, the police didn't expect him to start beating people, at this time I wanted to hurry over to dissuade him, I gave him a look and asked him not to interfere, he was stunned and didn't move again.

The stick was not thick or thin, but it hurt very much to hit people, but I still accepted it all, I have forgotten how many times he whipped me, I only knew that I was about to forget the pain, I kept gritting my teeth and sitting there without moving, the old man also slowly stopped, he asked me in a trembling voice: "Why the hell, you still come to torture me?"

I shook my head and said, "Grandpa, I don't want to bother you like this, but I have to do something, I just need to know the truth about something, and I'm not a policeman." ”

He looked at me a little stunned, originally thought that I was a female policeman, and thought that I was with the previous policemen who handled the case, otherwise he would not have used a stick to whip me all the time.

I stood up and felt that my body hurt, I unconsciously frowned and made a "hiss" sound, Xiao Liu hurriedly came over to help me, the old man was also worried about me, there was guilt in his eyes, but he had to be angry: "You don't listen to what you said to let you go, you deserve to be beaten!"

I nodded and said, "Yes, I deserved to be beaten, so I have been silently bearing, but can I be beaten so much that you can tell me the truth?"

This sentence made him a little confused, he looked at me and said, "What do you mean, what is the purpose of your coming here?"

I slowly walked to his side and said: "If I can, I don't want to bring up the old things again, I have seen the case at that time and know what you have experienced, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, I know that you must be very sad, every time you mention it, it is like a needle piercing you, but your son has at least found the murderer, and the victim of this case is just a student, and even the murderer cannot be found." ”

He looked at what I said and asked, "What does this case have to do with my son?"

I sighed and said: "This case is a long story, for the time being, I can't explain it clearly, I just want to ask you some questions, I hope you can answer me truthfully, maybe there will be a breakthrough in this case, we can't find the murderer at all now." ”

He still shook his head and said: "Other people's cases have nothing to do with me, I just hope you don't bother me anymore, I won't tell you, you are wrong to come today." ”

I didn't speak again, just hummed softly, I was squatting there talking to the old man, and now I wanted to stand up but my body was really too painful, I gritted my teeth and wanted to get up but couldn't get up, I could only start to tremble, my face began to slowly turn red, my hand has been holding on to the table hard before finally standing up.

Xiao Liu wanted to come over to help me, but in the end I insisted on going out by myself, the clothes I was wearing were not thick, and it could be seen at this time

There were some scratches on his clothes, which showed how hard he was trying, but I still didn't make a little sound, and I was walking inflexibly at this time.

Seeing that I was about to walk to the door, I slowly stretched out my hand to open the doorknob, with a painful expression on my face, I waited left and right without waiting for that sentence, and finally opened the door in disappointment and planned to go out.

That's when I heard a word.

"Come in, girl. ”
