Chapter 31: The Three Secret Rooms

According to Xu Long's warning, I ran out of the gate of the community in one go, and then turned right, a small white van was parked not far in front of me, the side and rear doors were open, and the glass of the body was covered by a layer of black cloth, so I couldn't see inside.

Although Xu Long didn't say it, I can be sure that this strange van is the one he talked about on the phone.

After running for about fifty or sixty meters, I threw myself into the open door of the van, and almost at the same time, the car slowly swayed, and then accelerated away from Lane 901 of Mingsheng Road.

As if for the rest of my life, I leaned back on the seat, my beating heart could not calm down for a long time, and at the moment when I got into the van, I saw two people rushing out of the gate of the community not far away, looking around, as if looking for their whereabouts.

I have been exposed, and today's escape has also pushed me to the forefront, and from now on, my situation will become even more dangerous, and I may face the risk of being killed by Lu Yong at any time.

After swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, my breathing became more even, and I adjusted my sitting posture and began to look at my surroundings.

I peered into the dark compartment, which had been sealed with a black cloth and had a small gap between it and the driver's seat, to see who was sitting in the driver's seat. But helplessly, the splint in it blocked my view, and suddenly I felt like I was being confined to someone.

Just as I was hesitating to ask, a man's voice suddenly came from the front, "Are you better?" ā€

The voice was Xu Long's, and I craned my neck and took a big breath before saying, "Well, I'm fine, why are you here?" ā€

"I want to ask you, how did you get here?" Xu Long didn't answer, and asked in a reproachful tone, "Don't you want to live?" Lu Yong has always sent someone to spy on you, and you don't know that if it weren't for me this time, you would have been taken away by them a long time ago. ā€

Indeed, the moment I saw those two people rushing out of the community, I felt a huge threat, and to this day, I still have some faint fear in my heart.

But even so, Xu Long's tone made me very uncomfortable, and I said-for-tat: "So what? Could it be that he still wants to kill me in the criminal police team? ā€

"Do you really think he wouldn't dare? Or do you think he can't do it? Dogs are in a hurry to jump off the wall, let alone people?! Besides, three years ago, he could even kill Xue Zilong......"

"Shut up!"

I let out a loud shout, feeling inexplicably irritable, and yelled angrily at the front, "Can you not always talk about this in front of me? If you were really capable, you would have brought him to justice a long time ago, how could you get to such a problem?! ā€

Xu Long seemed to have been poked by me, and was silent, and in an instant, the carriage fell into a dead silence.

Because of the darkness, I simply closed my eyes, my heartbeat and breathing returned to normal, my hot mind gradually cooled down, and an indescribable strange feeling filled my heart.

I have always been in an extremely passive situation, first Lu Yong, and now Xu Long, not to mention what their respective purposes are, right and wrong, I am like a chess piece in their hands to play.

Even if they can escape their fingers, they can't escape the huge chessboard under their feet.

Isn't life sad if that's the case?

Finally, I couldn't bear the irritability in my heart and the embarrassing atmosphere in the carriage, and asked casually, "Is there any news from that Xue Xilin?" ā€

I took out my phone as I spoke, thought about it, and sent a short message to Lin Hui.

"No, but I've already sent someone to investigate." Xu Long paused for a moment and added: "There is also Xue Zilong's family, but these investigations take time, and they can't be found out so quickly." ā€

"I understand."

In fact, I already know the answer, and the reason why I ask this is nothing more than to find something that can break the deadlock.

There was another short silence, and Xu Long couldn't help but ask about what happened just now, "Did you go to Mingsheng Road just now to find something?" ā€

"No, but I accidentally found Uncle Yan's home, I didn't expect him to be Xue Zilong's neighbor, and I chatted with his wife for a while, but I didn't receive anything."

Speaking of this, I immediately thought of the missing Uncle Yan, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, is there any news of Uncle Yan?" ā€

"Nope."

"When I went to check the call records of the landline at home on the night he disappeared, Aunt Yan told me that he went out after he got home and received another phone call."

Silent, Xu Long didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he said slowly: "I know, this is indeed a very important clue." ā€

"Also, was there also Uncle Yan among the people who followed Lu Yong to investigate the 10.18 case back then?"

As soon as these words came out, I felt that the body shook significantly, and then Xu Long's slightly surprised voice came, "How do you know?" ā€

I didn't understand why he was surprised, and said lightly: "Aunt Yan told me, why, you don't know?" ā€

"Alas~" Xu Long suddenly sighed, as if he was preoccupied, "Three years ago, I was just a small criminal policeman in a neighboring city, and I was temporarily transferred to participate in this case, and there were a lot of policemen who participated in the operation back then, I really don't have any impression of this Uncle Yan you said, and he should have left before I came here to be the deputy captain." ā€

I estimated it in my mind, and it seemed to be similar to what he said, if Lu Yong and Uncle Yan really colluded to frame Xue Zilong's family, after the 10.18 case, Lu Yong became the captain as he wished, and it was logical for Uncle Yan to choose to retire.

I have always believed that things in the world are always balanced, and there must be gains and losses, just like today's move to Mingsheng Road, which is dangerous and has also added a lot of new clues to myself.

Therefore, some risks are still worth taking, not to mention that I have never been a conservative person.

Seeing that Xu Long didn't mean to continue, I also changed my words and asked, "How long do we have to get to Happy Manor?" ā€

"I'm not going today, my plans have changed."

Xu Long's answer surprised me, I opened my eyes and asked puzzledly, "Why?" Didn't you get the police on duty in the back room? ā€

"Of course not, I've already arranged everything, but now that you're making such a fuss, the investigation will be very dangerous for a while, so ......"

"Danger? Tell me, when was I really safe again? I interrupted him mockingly, and I found myself acting rudely when talking to these policemen, "Besides, don't you have to chase if you are in danger?" Then we might as well break up and go back to our own homes and find our own mothers! ā€

"Are you sure you want to go?"

Without much thought, I replied, "Definitely." ā€

As soon as the words fell, a sharp brake sounded, and then, the whole car almost made a 360-degree turn, if it wasn't for the fact that he had just closed the door, he was afraid that he would have been thrown out at this moment.

I have to admit that this decision is somewhat impulsive, perhaps because I want to close the case quickly, or because I am unwilling to be a chess piece, but no matter what, my fate should be in my own hands after all, even if it is a wrong decision, I will die well!

Along the way, Xu Long and I seemed to have lost interest in talking again, and this strange silence lasted until the door of Happy Manor.

In fact, along the way, I wanted to ask him, how did he know that I was on Mingsheng Road, and how did he show up at this most critical juncture, and then save me from leaving? Scenes like this that only appear in movies will never happen in real life for no reason.

But in the end, I still endured, even if I asked Xu Long, I wouldn't answer, even if he answered, most of it was a lie, and I was very likely to work hard for this lie for a long time, but in the end I didn't get anything.

What I have to do now is to do everything possible to take the initiative into my own hands, instead of blindly being at the mercy of others, after all, seeing is believing and hearing is false, even what Xu Long said may not be true.

When I left the van, I asked Xu Long if there was anything that could prove his identity, if someone strayed into the secret room during the investigation, I was afraid that it would bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to myself, and if I attracted the police, wouldn't it be a mistake?

Xu Long seemed a little embarrassed by my request, and it could be seen that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, and in the end, he compromised.

He took out a small dark brown book from the black backpack on the seat next to him, the cover of the small book was printed with a huge silver-white police badge, he opened the small book, took out a few paper-like things from it, and then closed the small book and handed it to me and said: "I can only help you get here, this is an empty police officer card, it can only be used to bluff people, if you are still caught, then accept your fate, oh yes, I will not admit to giving you this then." ā€

I took my police ID and waved my hand to show that I understood.

Xu Long finally told me the time again, and then drove away in his strange van.

I watched his car leave until it disappeared from my field of vision, then I picked up my phone and dialed Lin Hui's number.

At this moment, the other party was already waiting in the first toilet after entering the Happy Manor according to the short message he had just sent him in the car.

It was 1:40 p.m., and there were still 20 minutes left before the appointed time, so I went straight to the toilet where Lin Hui was, changed into another set of clothes and pants he brought, put on a hat, sunglasses and scarf, like a star being stalked by the paparazzi, and walked out of the toilet again, blending into the surging crowd of Happy Manor.

Since I came back here, it was not enough to just go to the revenge room, and I chose to let Lin Hui send clothes to myself, this was my temporary decision, and it was also a subconscious decision, as for why I chose him instead of Nie Qian, I can't say clearly, maybe I don't want Nie Qian to risk herself? Or do you trust Lin Hui more in your heart?

I shook my head vigorously to prevent this useless thought from continuing, and all I had to do now was investigate something myself, even if the police had already checked it.

I followed the signs in the manor, looked for the service desk of Happy Manor, and then as a police officer, I found the manager of the human resources department, Xu Ming, a slightly chubby man in his early forties.

When Xu Ming invited me into his office, perhaps because of his strange overly rigid attire, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes from time to time.

And when he politely asked me to show my ID, my heart instantly rose to my throat, and an urge to run away invaded my whole body, and the empty police officer ID card could hide from this seemingly shrewd fat man in front of me?!
