It's embarrassing now, I didn't expect that Liu Hao in front of me not only knew me, but also knew Lin Xiaoxue again and again.

I don't know what Lin Xiaoxue's girl thinks, when she sees people, she says that I bully her, which makes me really like that kind of bad uncle, always like to hook up with girls or something.

For the sake of my reputation and the convenience of cooperating with him in the future, I will temporarily shift the topic away from my bullying Lin Xiaoxue, so that it will not be too embarrassing to continue talking.

Then the conversation changed and asked, "Officer Liu, what is the relationship between you and Xiaoxue?" Why are you so familiar with her? ”

"Me?" Liu Hao took another sip of strong tea: "To be counted according to generation, Lin Xiaoxue has to call me uncle, and her father is also my old superior." That old man was also a powerful figure in the police circle of Z City back then, and it is no wonder that he was able to cultivate a pair of good sons and daughters such as Xiaoxue and Lin Feng. ”

I see!

When I was in the Renbi case before, I wondered where Lin Xiaoxue got the details of those cases and Guo Fangzheng.

Now it seems that he should have used his father's network.

"As for the person Xiaoxue wants to marry, he is also the son of a well-known wealthy businessman in our Z city. But she is a talented woman, and a while ago I heard that she had run away from marriage, and his father was so anxious that he almost lifted Z City. I guess, Xiaoxue's girl who ran away from marriage has something to do with you. ”

Well, this Liu Hao, don't look amazing, I didn't expect to know a lot of things.

I thought that with the relationship between Liu Hao and Lin Xiaoxue's father, this guy would try his best to prevent me from going to Lin Xiaoxue. Unexpectedly, Liu Hao not only didn't stop it, but tried his best to encourage me to chase Lin Xiaoxue back.

According to his words, young people should be bold in pursuing their own happiness, and now they have long pursued free love, and political marriages and baby kisses are the affairs of their older generation.

Although I said that, this passage was told to me by an old man, and I felt a little strange when I thought about it.

Besides, the most important thing in this trip to Z City is to prove my innocence and find out the real murderer who killed Lu Wei. As for whether to recover Lin Xiaoxue or something, that's a later story.

Liu Hao also agreed with my idea, and hurriedly turned back to the topic, asking me what I planned to do next.

I thought about it for a moment, and hurriedly took out the "White Night" magazine and put it on the table.

All of the cases were based on the suspense section of White Nights Magazine, written by an author named Kogoro Mori.

And the details of the case turned out to be exactly the same as what he described, which is no longer a coincidence.

So the top priority is to find this guy with the pen name Mori Kogoro as soon as possible, he is suspected of committing a major crime!

According to the address on the book, Liu Hao quickly verified that the White Night Magazine was located in an office building in Kaifeng District, Z City.

It was late at night, so I had planned to rest for a while and wait until dawn before I went to the magazine to investigate. Unexpectedly, Liu Hao was in a hurry, and without saying a word, he pulled me into the police car.

According to his words, we just went to the magazine to collect evidence and find out the identity information about the Mori Kogoro.

Human life is a major matter, even if the editor-in-chief of the "White Night" magazine is sleeping, he has to put on Lao Tzu's pants and rush to be interrogated!

Not to mention, this quick temper really has a bit of Ji Yan's shadow, no wonder I subconsciously thought that Liu Hao was Ji Yan after he got old.

Most of the people in the city bureau have already gone out to investigate, and there are only two people along the way, Liu Hao and me.

After the conversation just now, it is much easier to take Liu Hao's police car now, at least after getting acquainted with him, there is no longer that depressing feeling of being thrown into prison in minutes.

About two hours later, Liu Hao parked the police car under an office building in Kaifeng District, and if the address information on the magazine was correct, then the "White Night" magazine should be on the thirteenth floor of the building.

The office building is surrounded by the rest of the unfinished buildings, several of which still have banners that read "Topping Out."

Liu Hao told me that the surrounding buildings should have been completed three years ago, but because of the economic depression and turbulent housing prices in Z City in recent years, several small bosses in the developer ran away with money, and this new house became an unfinished building.

It is estimated that the office building is the only one completed, and in order to recover the cost, it can only be reluctantly put into use first. The office building stood in the middle of the unfinished buildings around it, which seemed a little lonely, especially against the backdrop of the night, giving people a sense of great disharmony.

Walking into the building, the semi-automatic sensor door opens instantly. There are no security personnel left near the main entrance, and a monitoring probe is all the security means of this building at night.

Liu Hao told me that in the past few years, the security around Z City has not been very good, and there are often criminal gangs running around the suburbs of Z City to commit crimes, and there have been precedents of criminals pretending to be police officers to engage in kidnapping and extortion.

So when he saw the two policemen pressing me on the platform, he would subconsciously ask a few more questions.

The office building is located in a remote location, coupled with such poor security measures, I don't know how the office staff in the building can confidently and boldly travel between their residence and work place every day.

got on the elevator, Liu Hao squinted his eyes to find the button on the thirteenth floor, and looked for a whole circle from top to bottom, but found that on the whole row of buttons, the button of thirteen could not be found at all.

Liu Hao touched his head and muttered: ", why doesn't this building have thirteen floors?" Could it be that the address on the thirteenth floor does not exist? ”

It's really a dead brain, without the button on the thirteenth floor, won't you press the fourteenth floor and go down?

I know that in some places, elevator buttons will be taboo, so there are no buttons on the fourth or thirteenth floors, which are not auspicious symbols in China or the West.

Liu Hao didn't believe what I said at first, but he counted the buttons upwards and found that the buttons on the fourth floor were really gone, and after the third floor was over, he jumped directly to the fifth floor.

"Damn, this kind of bullshit custom will be believed. This feudal superstition is a flood beast, and sooner or later it must be destroyed! ”

Really, a lot of people are old, and they are still so hard-mouthed, they just don't want to admit their mistakes.

I didn't bother with him, and directly photographed the buttons on the fourteenth floor.

Dizzy, the elevator started slowly, but when I saw the twelve and fourteen buttons, I suddenly had a sense of disharmony in my heart, and as for what was wrong, I couldn't say it for a while.

A moment later, the elevator reached the fourteenth floor, and the elevator door slowly opened, but there was a thick darkness in front of it.

The wind was blowing and sending chills down my spine, and it looked like the people working on this floor had already left the building.

Liu Hao turned on the flashlight he was carrying, handed me one, and looked at the quartz watch on his left wrist.

The hands came to 3:30, the deepest hour of the night, and there seemed to be something restless lurking in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity.

"Let's go, let's go downstairs first, I hope there are still people on the floor downstairs!"

That being said, it was a bit difficult for me to believe that there were still living people in White Nights magazine. No matter what kind of workaholic you are, you can't work overtime until half past three in the morning.

I found the staircase and walked all the way down, and I quickly reached the thirteenth floor.

As I expected, there was no elevator hall on this floor, and the space where the elevator doors were supposed to be located was painted as a wall.

It was still dark, but luckily the iron door on the thirteenth floor was not locked. Through the sign at the entrance of the building, we know that the office of the "White Night" magazine is the innermost room on the thirteenth floor.

Like the elevator buttons before me, this sign gave me a sense of dissonance, but I still couldn't tell what was wrong.

It seems that after the human case, my brain reacts more slowly, and some things that I can usually perceive often take a long time to notice, which has never happened in my previous twenty years of life.

Could it really be because of Xie Jiayi's appearance that affected my judgment and reasoning ability? Or is it because of some other reason?
