Chapter 13: Staggered

The closed curtains were gently pulled open a slit, and the warm winter sun that leaked in hit his pale face without thinking.

He looked into the distance without care.

At this moment, the three of them were taking advantage of the sunlight to gradually fade away, and the girl floated beside them, and the spirit body illuminated by the light looked a little ethereal and transparent.

Just as the figure was about to disappear, it suddenly turned its head.

The distance was reduced to zero at this moment, and it seemed to have no expression, but he could read what it meant.

It will be back.

To this, he didn't reply anything, and directly closed the curtain.

When the last light is cut out, everything in the room is dark again.

……

"Recently, Xia Lan has left a trace of other people's breath."

After the girl finished speaking unhurriedly, Lu Hong thought about it carefully, and then remembered that Xia Lan had mentioned that she had been in a trance recently, and she always felt that she was being followed.

When he heard it, he had only regarded it as a trivial matter, but now he became more and more suspicious.

"Could the owner of the breath be a murderer?" Liang Wei couldn't help but interject.

So far, Liang Wei still can't understand some of the murderer's behavior, but that's why they call him a murderer.

"I don't know." Of course the girl is lying, but it can't tell the truth.

Immediately afterwards, according to the girl's description, the three of them left the Xinnan community non-stop and drove to the direction pointed by the girl.

The girl couldn't say exactly where she was, only the general direction.

The driver was Sun Yong, who glanced at the navigation system in the car a few times and was confused about his destination this time.

Why is it getting more and more deviated?

Looking at the depressed and deserted streets on both sides under the car window, Lu Hong also realized this problem.

Except for Song Nancheng, who grew up here, none of them have ever been here.

"How far away." Lu Hong couldn't help asking.

"At the current speed, it will take about ten minutes."

The girl in the back seat calmly replied, correcting the direction of Sun Yong's car from time to time.

At this time, in addition to the girl's voice, the entire car fell into a quiet and stagnant atmosphere.

After thinking for a while, Lu Hong took the lead in speaking: "How is Song Ke?" ”

This was obviously asking Liang Wei, she pulled her hair and said meaningfully: "Don't probe, I know what you mean." ”

"Originally, I wouldn't agree with you, but after talking to her, I found out that some people are born destined, even if I stop it, Xiao Ke will embark on this road by himself."

Saying this, Liang Wei herself couldn't help but sigh.

Willing to be ordinary or willing to be mediocre, Song Ke is obviously neither, at least at the moment of her father's death, she can no longer be bound to one of the two.

"I have already handed over the compensation to Xia Lan before, and by the way, I also mentioned the matter of helping her find a job......

Before he finished speaking, Liang Wei glanced at him: "Sure enough, I was prepared, even if I didn't agree, I couldn't help it." In that case, leave it to me to guide Xiao Ke, I have tested it before, and she meets the criteria to join. ”

Lu Hong, who was broken, had to touch the back of his neck in embarrassment.

And Sun Yong seemed to think of something at this time, and asked casually: "Brother Hong, why did you say that the killer would follow Xia Lan." ”

"It doesn't have to be a murderer, other people may be possible, but now it's just this clue, and if you dig deeper, you may be able to find other answers." Lu Hong shook his head, "And for a guy like a murderer who can't be speculated by common sense, who knows what he'll do next." ”

Having said that, Lu Hong still felt that the possibility of directly encountering the murderer was too low, and all the staff were dispatched at this time just to prevent this low probability thing.

After all, it is very dangerous to face the murderer, and until now, the three of them have not had the idea of giving up just because of the dead Song Nancheng.

"Even if it's not for the commission, I have to catch the murderer and breathe a sigh of relief for Brother Song." Sun Yong said indignantly, but did not cause a response from the two people in the back seat.

It would be nice if it did go that well, and I don't know what would happen next.

Lu Hong sighed in his heart, and at this time, the car suddenly stopped.

"The car can't get in."

Even if Sun Yong didn't explain, the two saw it.

This is obviously the old part of the city, and on top of the garbage and construction waste piled up everywhere, the dilapidated buildings are like old people living here who are dying, and there is a feeling of decay and dying to the end of their lives.

Because it's daytime, the slightly noisy voices make this place somewhat lively, but that's about it.

After witnessing the bustling scene in the heart of the city, all three of them were in disbelief at what they saw.

"Even in the most prosperous places, there are dark corners that have never been illuminated by the sun."

Lu Hong sighed with emotion, opened the car door directly and got out of the car.

The trio's visit didn't make much of a difference, except that some of the children looked curiously at their car.

"Are we in the wrong place?" When Sun Yong parked the car and came back, he couldn't help muttering.

"It's here."

Although the girl's expression was flat, her tone was firm.

Liang Wei's afterglow swept over it, and in broad daylight, it disappeared into the air like a snowflake.

There was always a feeling in her mind that she had overlooked something. What is it exactly?

Before they came out, they made an agreement with it after a brief exchange.

If it does not appear in front of others and helps them in appropriate situations, then they will give it a certain amount of freedom as much as they can.

At this point, however, it seems to be more of a compromise than an agreement.

Just like the girl before, they want to gradually transform the original burden into their own strength.

"It's not far away, it's inside." The girl floated in front of them, acting as a guide.

Liang Wei and Sun Yong ignored its words, and it wasn't until Lu Hong nodded that they glanced at each other and walked in secretly on guard.

Previously unfelt on the periphery, there was always an indescribable disgusting smell in the old town, like a stench mixed with the garbage produced by human life and the feces produced by the physiology.

Sun Yong and Lu Hong are okay, being in them, Liang Wei feels uncomfortable.

As if polluted by the air here, she frowned, looked at the other two, and still didn't ask.

"It's almost there." As if sensing Liang Wei's thoughts, the girl spoke.

After taking a few more steps inside, Lu Hong suddenly swept to the isolation zone not far away and the policemen who were still patrolling there, and a chill arose in his heart.

At this time, Liang Wei and Sun Yong also noticed, and a confused expression appeared on their faces.

"Did anything happen here?"
