Seventy-three, the cover-up after the killing

Back at the parking place, Xiao Long calmed down for a moment, sat in the driver's seat, started the car, the long-lost engine roar broke the deathly silence, he leaned out of the car to observe the road conditions, while controlling the steering wheel and retreating along the narrow path. When the car turned back to the wide road it had just driven, there was still no vehicle passing, and the trees gradually faded away, and the light of the headlights could be faintly seen in the distance.

It's finally over. The exhausted Xiao Long only had this idea now. The position where Shi Yunfeng had sat before was empty, as if a big hole had been broken, and a trace of fear hit Xiao Long. After the car drove into the town street, there were a few cars speeding on the road, and because the speed was very fast, no one should have noticed that Xiao Long's car was driving into the main road from the side road.

Xiao Long drove in the direction of Nanguang. Because of his profession, he has seen countless corpses, and he also had the experience of dissecting corpses when he was in school, and he has long been accustomed to corpses, but that is when the deceased has nothing to do with him. And now, it was himself who killed Shi Yunfeng, he really couldn't keep his composure, the legs sticking out of the arched bushes and the white socks on his feet kept appearing in front of him. Although a big problem was solved, a new one followed: the body should be found tomorrow, and it might take two or three days to identify it. No, without waiting for the police to come to the door, he pretended to have read the news and took the initiative to go over to confirm that no one in the hospital knew that Shi Yunfeng was looking for Xiao Long, let alone that she was with Xiao Long.

The next question is your own alibi. It is necessary to prove that you are connected to other people at that time, and that a living murderer should not exist in a lonely environment.

When Xiao Long planned to kill Shi Yunfeng, he didn't think about killing Wu Chen and Lai Qianxiu's husband. However, the repeated use of the same method made Xiao Long feel intimidated, and he feared that there would be a flaw. Moreover, out of the conscience of a practitioner, that is, his last bit of professional ethics, he was a little hesitant to repeat this professional killing method, so he did not use this method to kill Shi Yunfeng.

Xiao Long continued to drive. As the number of cars on the road increased, the speed slowed down. The time displayed on the watch is 11:10, and it should be around 11:40 when you return to the hospital, and this time should be remembered accurately.

Of course, there are no traffic accidents. Otherwise, the fact that he has been to the streets of the town will be known, Xiao Long has a cold war, he must slow down, if he is not careful, maybe there will really be a traffic accident. Cars drove past several police officers, and on a summer night, patrolling police officers set up chairs on the side of the road and watched the road while taking a cool spot.

Xiao Long didn't know these patrolling policemen, he only knew that there should be no record of speeding in such a place. Xiao Long drove slowly and more cautiously, and the taxis behind him passed impatiently.

Xiao Long turned left into the street of Nanguang North where the street of the town widened, and planned to go back far away, here because of the subway construction, the vehicle is not easy to pass, the driver in front is arguing with the construction staff about something, Xiao Long reminded himself that he can't leave an impression because of trivial things, the license plate number on the car is as conspicuous as a signboard, if it is seen, it may leave trouble for himself.

Xiao Long drove to the side road again. As soon as he grasped the steering wheel, he would have the illusion that Shi Yunfeng's ghost was telling him to drive carefully in the distance.

Xiao Long decided not to go back to the hospital first, and he drove the car to Lai Qianxiu's house. It was 11:50 p.m. when he arrived. At this time, Xiao Long was not worried that someone would see his car parked here, but hoped that someone would write down his license plate number.

He entered the hallway through his own entrance.

"You're back." The maid came to greet Xiao Long, the people of this family always rest very late, Xiao Long went straight to Lai Qianxiu's room.

Lai Qianxiu was sitting at the table flipping through the account book, with an abacus in her hand. She knew that Xiao Long had come in, so she didn't look at it, and rubbed her temples with her fingers.

"What about reckoning? Looks like business has been going well! Xiao Long sat down a little far away from Lai Qianxiu.

"What's good?" She said unhappily, "I'm trying to raise money for the opening of a branch, alas, how can I get so much money!" She grabbed the abacus and shook it vigorously.

"There is a world of difference between what you say is not enough money and what we say is not enough!" Xiao Long was a little worried, she said this, I don't know if the money agreed to be given to him before will be delayed for some reason. "And you, you're too ambitious, if you don't see good, you will accept it, beware of capsizing in the gutter."

Lai Qianxiu didn't speak, just shrugged her shoulders.

"Huh? It's past twelve o'clock. Xiao Long glanced at his watch and said.

"What are you doing here?" When he asked this, Lai Qianxiu still didn't raise his eyes to look at him.

"Of course, I have something to discuss with you. I've been busy lately, too."

"Hmph, it's not with any woman, is it?"

"Don't make jokes. I'm also working hard to raise money now, and today I went to borrow money from someone, but it still didn't work. You promised to borrow money last time, no problem, right? Xiao Long said to Lai Qianxiu's back.

"Don't mention it tonight." Lai Qianxiu left the table for the first time tonight and walked towards Xiao Long, although there was an unhappy look between her eyebrows, she was not necessarily so reluctant to Xiao Long's arrival.

"As long as you keep the agreement, I don't need to open my mouth to withdraw money. Forget it, I won't mention this tonight, just talk about something else. ”

Xiao Long took out a cigarette from his pocket. Lai Qianxiu struck a match and lit it for him, and then she couldn't help but be surprised: "Hey, what's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Long was taken aback: "What? ”

"Why is your face so ugly?"

Xiao Long touched his face and said, "Ah, is it? ”

"Are you feeling unwell?" Lai Qianxiu squinted at Xiao Long.

"No, nothing. Is it so strange that it really looks so pale? ”

"yes. But it's good that you don't have anything, maybe it's the lighting. She looked at the ceiling lamp.

"I've been borrowing money everywhere these days, and tonight's negotiations are not going well, so my depressed mood is on my face. There's really no problem, right? ”

"It's annoying! Didn't we say we wouldn't talk about this today? ”

"yes." Xiao Long looked at Lai Qianxiu's face in the bright light. The flat face, which was featureless, now looked vibrant, and he held Lai Qianxiu's fat hand.

"Let go! You're still pestering other women. Lai Qianxiu struggled slightly, and then left Xiao Long at the mercy of him, leaning his body and leaning on him.

Xiao Long licked Lai Qianxiu's earlobe and said, "Can you help me prove that I have been with you since dusk tonight?" ”

"Ah, what's wrong?" Lai Qianxiu looked at Xiao Long's face in a daze, her expression was not as surprised as she appeared in her tone.

It's a bit of a situation,

"Is it because you didn't pay your debts on time?"

"Well, that's it. In short, whoever asks, you have to say that I have been with you since dusk. ”

"Okay." Lai Qianxiu did not continue to ask.

Xiao Long stared at her face affectionately, then kissed her lips deeply, and then instructed again: "Maybe the police will come to question you, and then you must say that I am always with you." ”

When Lai Qianxiu heard this, she felt that the situation was a little serious and took a deep breath.

Xiao Long explained: "I'll tell you the details later, remember to say so." ”

"What the hell is going on?" As if she had guessed something, her tone was heavy.

"I'll tell you later. Do you understand? ”

Xiao Long especially emphasized the sentence "do you understand", since they conspired to kill Lai Qianxiu's husband, this sense of accomplice seems to have become a kind of coercion, forcing them to advance and retreat together in everything. Although Lai Qianxiu didn't understand what happened, she didn't inquire about anything anymore, but just kept her face stiff.

"I'd like to stay with you tonight, okay?"

Xiao Long put his hand into Lai Qianxiu's clothes, and whispered in her ear while caressing it gently. Although Lai Qianxiu looked uneasy, she still acquiesced to Xiao Long's request.

Xiao Long left Lai Qianxiu's house at eight o'clock the next morning.

His car was parked at Lai's house all night. This is very good, passers-by must have seen the black car, which can also be a proof that Xiao Long was at Lai Qianxiu's house all night. According to Lai Qianxiu, she arrived home 30 minutes earlier than Xiao Long. It is not difficult to pretend that the two have been together since dusk, and it is not difficult to hide from the servants in Chise's house, but it is a bit troublesome to explain where he and Lai Qianxiu spent time together during this time. Lai Qianxiu was at the store in Ginza at five o'clock, and then went to a cabaret show by himself, and then went to a restaurant that was open late for supper before returning home. In fact, as long as these activities are said to be carried out by Xiao Long and Lai Qianxiu together, Xiao Long's perfect alibi can be formed, Xiao Long intends to carefully ponder these details, he still has plenty of time before the police find Shi Yunfengfeng's body and come to investigate him.
