Chapter 40: Shadows in the Sun

When the two of them came to the classroom, they saw a lot of people gathered together, talking about something, and everyone's faces showed uneasiness and nervousness, as if something big had happened.

This made Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei a little surprised, and they didn't know what was going on.

"What's wrong?" Li Pengfei immediately leaned over and asked.

Everyone was talking about a piece of news that circulated in various group chats last night: it is said that a body was found in a garbage dump last night, and it was murdered.

It is no longer the troubled times where countless accidental deaths occur every day, and in this era of peace, the occasional unnatural death of a corpse, like a bomb, will blow up a large calm pond with a huge splash.

Just like this group of students now.

Murder.

The word is too far away from their lives, so when it happens in the city they live in, they also feel too close to themselves.

"It looks like a woman." A classmate said in an uncertain voice.

But this sentence made the woman named He Ting appear in Lu Yanhe's mind for no reason.

Wearing a sunhat, he has a thin build.

She stood in the crowded bus compartment and glanced back at him through the crowd.

It's just that it was evening, the car door had been opened, and her face was sinking into a backlit shadow, so Lu Yanhe didn't see her face clearly at all, and he didn't know what kind of expression she had at that time.

It can't be her, right?

When this thought popped up in Lu Yanhe's mind, it was accompanied by a creepy feeling.

Lu Yanhe also likes to watch crime movies, especially the kind of crime films where ordinary people are accidentally involved in a conspiracy or accident, not a story like "Mission Impossible" or "Mission Shadow" that does not live in the world of ordinary people, but a story like "The Nameless" that takes place in a real world. Only when the background of the story takes place in the world that can be seen everywhere around you will have a greater sense of substitution.

However, at this moment, Lu Yanhe realized that a movie is a movie after all, you know that it is a movie, no matter how much you have a sense of substitution, you also know that it is just a story.

But that's not the case in the real world.

Lu Yanhe sat down and sent a message to Officer Qiu to ask: Officer Qiu, my classmates are talking about the murder of a woman here last night, is it true?

Officer Qiu, who replied in seconds yesterday, did not reply to the message until the beginning of the morning self-study today.

It shouldn't be that coincidental, right?

Lu Yanhe frowned slightly, suppressed the uneasiness surging like an earthworm in his heart, let himself concentrate, and began to listen to the lecture.

-

Old.

Obviously, it was still raining heavily on the other side of the Thirteenth Middle School, but this one was sunny.

Same city, different weather.

There was a breakfast shop on the side of the road, with seven or eight tables set up along the street.

A man in a white vest with a fierce tiger head carved on his right arm walked over and sat down at a table next to him.

"Boss, let's have a bowl of beef noodles and add a little long bao!" He shouted.

"Okay!" The boss responded.

After a while, the boss came over with a steaming bowl of beef noodles and a drawer of xiaolongbao.

He brought the noodles to the man, smiled, and said, "Eat slowly." ”

Halfway through eating, a woman wearing sunglasses appeared.

She sat down at Luo Hu's table.

This scene did not cause any strangeness to the people around him.

This piece of the old city, not only live lazy and lazy, sit and eat empty mountains, but also live a lot of suits or delicate makeup elites, the former is the remnants of the city, the latter is the city's outsiders, if there is anything in common between the two, that is, they are not accommodated by the glamorous side of the city, so they can only live in this backward old town.

The lazy can eat for an hour, while the elite have to settle it in under ten minutes, hurrying to work in the CBD area, ten kilometers away, where the old town is just their dreamland and the CBD is their dream.

But this elegant woman in sunglasses is not in a hurry.

After she sat down, she dismantled a pair of disposable chopsticks, chewed and ate a small long bao slowly, and then asked in an inaudible voice, "You handled the people?" ”

"I bring it, I deal with it." Luo Hu didn't raise his eyebrows.

"The surveillance shows that she secretly took photos and videos, did she say anything to anyone?" The woman asked.

"I said that I wanted to give a policeman before, but I didn't have time, and after you reminded me, I kept staring at her, and she didn't find a chance."

"It's time to withdraw, just in case." The woman said, "You brought the person here, and you are honest and reliable, but I didn't expect to be a ghost behind my back, and I finally got a foothold here, and now I have to give up again." ”

"Hibernate for a while, look at the direction of the wind, it's just a dead person, as long as no one sees those photos and videos, no one finds out what we really do, I've checked her mobile phone, she's a woman from the countryside, she doesn't use a computer or anything, no problem, don't worry."

"Before, you also said that people are from your hometown, let us rest assured, aren't you still doing ghosts behind your back?" The woman frowned.

"Okay, I'll solve the trouble I caused."

"The police have already found the woman's body."

"No matter how you check it, it's suicide." Luo Hu said, "I didn't kill people. ”

"You didn't kill it? Who did you find to kill? You're crazy, you dare to find someone else to do this? After the woman sat down, she became a little emotional for the first time.

"Calm down, no one else will do this." Luo Hu smiled slightly, "It's just suicide." ”

The woman was stunned.

"Since I dare to bring her, I naturally have a way to restrain her." After Luo Hu finished saying this, he put down his chopsticks, "During this time, avoid the limelight first, see the direction of the wind and then contact it, and go." ”

Luo Hu is gone.

He had just lied. He Ting didn't find a chance, before she died, she told him that she was almost going to give something to a policeman she had seen before that night, but she found him, so the opportunity she finally found was gone.

Luo Hu sighed. Thinking of He Ting kneeling on the ground and begging him for mercy last night, Luo Hu felt irritable. Why, why can't you clean honestly? He had to force her daughter to threaten her to jump from the stairs.

But all this, he didn't intend to tell this woman.

She didn't need to know. She just needs to know that the crisis is over.

The woman continued to eat xiaolongbao until the last one was finished, when she paid the bill and walked in the other direction.

This is the old town, and the surveillance of this part has not been installed, so they can have breakfast here and leave slowly.
