Romance of Gods

Chapter 118 Hyena and Rose
Chen Yan nodded, "According to the clues I learned, this man wearing glasses should play a very important role in the entire case."

Upon hearing this, Inspector Zhou felt that Chen Yan was really here to investigate the case seriously, so he put aside his joking for the time being.

He said seriously: "According to your description, the only thing I can think of right now is this Ma Liu."

"What's the origin of the hyena gang?"

Inspector Zhou showed disdain, "A group of street gangsters and racing gangs used to commit petty thefts, fight and hurt people in the city.

After catching them several times, these people became more honest and moved their activities from the downtown area to the outer ring.

The composition of the Hyena Gang is complex. In addition to a large number of idle personnel, there are also cynical rich men and excitement-seeking officials' children who hang out together.

The Ma Liu you are talking about, known as Liu Ye on the road, is an orphan. He used to be a top student at Tianwang University, but later dropped out and ended up getting mixed up with this group of people for some reason. "

Upon hearing that the gang's activities ranged around the outer ring, Song Qingchan's calm face suddenly changed and she looked at Chen Yan in disbelief.

He had just participated in the investigation, but he already had such important clues... This man was smarter than she thought before.

Chen Yan ignored the change in her expression and thought to himself after hearing the words, so this hyena gang had a motive for committing the crime.

Inspector Zhou calmed down and continued: "After the incident, we focused on investigating this group of people, but we did not find any valuable clues. Besides, these rotten people can bully ordinary people, but how can they steal? United Bank?"

"Inspector Zhou, do two things for me. First, catch this Ma Liu and I will ask him some questions personally. Second, go to the black market to investigate. In the past few months before and after the crime, did anyone purchase it? Controlled weapons such as bows and crossbows.”

As he spoke, Chen Yan smiled and said, "I think there must be a place like this in Tianwangshan City, right?"

"This……"

Inspector Zhou frowned and looked at Chen Yan, wondering how many clues Chen Yan had mastered in such a short period of time that he didn't know about?

He was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "Understood, I will try my best to handle it... Handsome... Mr. Chen, is there anything else you need me to do?"

"I plan to go to the hospital to visit Director Lin, but I don't know if it's convenient."

"Are you still doubting Director Lin?" Song Qingchan looked at him.

Chen Yan did not answer. It was obvious that Director Lin was the only person who had directly entered the vault, whether it was the Hyena Gang or others.

Although the chaos only occurred for more than ten seconds, if you want to break through the layers of obstacles in the vault and fish in troubled waters, you can only start during this time.

Inspector Zhou shook his head, "Although Director Lin is critically ill now, I have no friendship with him. Of course you can take a look. But you need to obtain the committee's consent in advance, so I suggest you contact Secretary Jiang."

It was late at night when I left the bank.

Song Qingchan drove the car and took Chen Yan slowly down the lonely street.

People can't move like machines. Chen Yan doesn't plan to contact Jiang Qian now, and plans to get to know Director Lin from the side first.

He took out a piece of paper from his pocket with an address written on it.

"Go to Youpeng Community."

Song Qingchan turned around an intersection and her expression changed slightly when she heard this, "Are you really planning to break into a private house and go to Director Lin's house to investigate?"

The address on the paper was given by Inspector Zhou, but he only reluctantly told the two of them the name of the community.

In addition, regarding Director Lin’s personal situation, he refused to explain clearly, probably because he did not want to take responsibility.

Breaking into a house?Chen Yan hesitated to speak, then smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, in the country of Chi, it is forbidden for those who act as gods to harm the local indigenous people.

But when faced with those masked people, you took action without hesitation. This should be more serious than breaking into a house. "

"Special cases are dealt with, but even so, I still fell into their hands." Song Qingchan glanced at the rearview mirror, "Do you know why the committee is so resistant to outsiders doubting Director Lin? If we investigate and find out, it is one of their own If someone commits suicide while guarding, the problem is much more serious than manslaughter."

"Okay, if that's the case, then I can just extort a hush fee from them. This is much more cost-effective than earning tens of thousands of yuan in bonuses."

"you?"

Song Qingchan took one look at Chen Yan's expression of indifference and simply kept silent.

The position of director is also considered a middle-level cadre on the committee, a high-paying group.

But the Youpeng Community where he lives is located on the edge of the Seventh Ring Road, a standard old and dilapidated community.

Walking more than 20 kilometers further, you can reach the abandoned area of ​​​​the outer ring.

After the two got off the car, they walked straight through the guard booth and entered the community.

There are many dark small buildings around, like a crowd of old people.

Song Qingchan frowned and said, "There are so many buildings, do we have to search them one by one?"

Chen Yan shook his head helplessly, "My fairy friend, you are too unworldly. If you don't know the specific location, just ask."

Immediately, he raised his chin and pointed at a bright window in the distance, "The canteen... In a community like this, the young people are almost gone, and there aren't many places to sell things.

The store is the community's information gathering place. Do you think that if a striking young talent lives here, will it become a topic of conversation for people after dinner? "

Song Qingchan's eyes brightened slightly and she nodded slowly, "That makes sense."

Inside the small shop, the shelves were dusty, and the colorful food packaging bags were all covered with a layer of greasy mud.

Bang bang!Chen Yan knocked on the door, and the two of them walked in. He shouted, "Buy something!"

The old man wearing an electric blanket was lying on the cigarette cabinet, snoring and drooling.

Hearing the sound, Song Qingchan straightened up, his gray stubble tugging on the transparent silk thread, and Song Qingchan shook his head.

"What to buy!"

The uncle quickly woke up and carefully looked at the two unfamiliar faces in front of him.

Chen Yan leaned his elbows on the counter and lowered his eyes, "Which brand of cigarettes is the best?"

"This is the soft-packed Green King, 80."

Chen Yan took the cigarette and put it in his pocket, then looked back at Song Qingchan, who was browsing in front of the shelves.

"What are you doing in a daze, give me money!"

Song Qingchan turned back to glare at him, took out a hundred-dollar bill and threw it on the counter.

When the uncle saw the woman's appearance up close, he couldn't help but smacked his lips twice.

Chen Yan took out two cigarettes and gave one to the uncle, "Inquiring about something."

Seeing that these two people looked decent and were generous with their actions, the uncle lowered his guard, took the cigarette and said, "Then you asked the right person. There is nothing in the three-acre area of ​​Youpeng Community that I don't know."

Chen Yan smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, we have a colleague who lives in this community. We haven't contacted him for several days. Our work unit asked us to come over and have a look."

Before he finished speaking, the uncle said, "You are talking about Xiao Lin, right?"

"Yes, his surname is Lin. Do you know him?"

The uncle clapped his legs and leaned back and said: "Hi! Who doesn't know him? Xiao Lin moved here half a year ago. He drives a car worth a million dollars in and out every day. We don't know what he does, but He is quite polite and greets everyone he sees. But I haven’t seen him for a long time and I don’t know where he went. I heard from his landlord that he didn’t cancel the rent.”

Chen Yan and Song Qingchan looked at each other, "According to you, he lives here alone?"

The uncle smiled mysteriously, "That's right. This Xiao Lin is good at everything, but he can't control his sex. He brings different women over every now and then. So some people guess that this Xiao Lin rents here just to keep women. House of."

Chen Yan suddenly became serious, "This Xiao Lin, the leaders usually value him very much, but I didn't expect his private behavior to be so chaotic! Master, where does he live?"

"I live in Building 9, Room 206."

206...

Seeing the two of them walking out angrily, the uncle smiled, lit a cigarette, and muttered: "There's a good show to watch again, it's best to start a fight."

The cold wind in the middle of the night blows on my face, which is particularly refreshing.

On the way, Song Qingchan asked: "Is this his motive for stealing the bank vault? He needs money for women?" Chen Yan sneered, "Now you are beginning to suspect that he is the one who committed the crime?"

"It's not a suspicion, I'm just making a reasonable guess based on your thoughts."

"Then you guessed wrong." Chen Yan's eyes narrowed. "For a person like this, the ways to get money are far wider than we thought. There is no need for him to take risks and try to trick the bank. I think there is a deeper level behind this." For the purpose, don’t forget, there are also those masked people.”

Song Qingchan remained silent.

The two came to Building 206, climbed the narrow stairs, and stopped in front of No. [-].

After knocking on the door and confirming that no one was in the house, Chen Yan took out the green gun and opened the door lock with a click. Dust filled the sky and blew into his face.

"No one has lived here for a long time."

The two of them entered the house. Song Qingchan stretched out his index finger and lightly scratched the coffee table, creating a bright white ravine.

Chen Yan nodded, and he took a look around the living room. It was very homely, simple, with three bedrooms and one living room.

"Take a look separately."

"it is good."

despair!despair!
Water drops slowly hit the wash basin, making a regular knocking sound.

Chen Yan pushed the door open and entered the bathroom. He turned off the faucet and looked at the shelf. There was only one set of toiletries.

If a second person often lives here, at least two sets should be placed.

Do you have to bring your own toothbrush when you come to sleep at his house?

If this kid doesn't really have a knack for picking up girls, then someone is deliberately hiding something.

After leaving here, he and Song Qingchan reunited in the living room.

"I've searched all the rooms except the master bedroom, and I didn't find anything special."

Chen Yan nodded, "You go downstairs and wait for me first, and I'll take a look around."

"it is good."

After Song Qingchan left, Chen Yan checked several houses in turn, and finally came to Director Lin's bedroom.

The gray-white curtains were opened, and the bright moonlight passed through the glass and turned into several square white grids, printed on the dusty bedding.

Chen Yan stood in front of the door, his eyes casually passing through the room, and finally settled on the bedside table.

There is a picture frame and a vase on the cabinet.

Inside the photo frame is a photo of Director Lin playing tennis on the lawn with a sunny smile.

Tall, handsome, young and promising... Chen Yan thought to himself, this kind of man is indeed easy to win the favor of the opposite sex.

There was a bouquet of roses in the vase, and the purple-red petals had begun to wither and fall.

He stepped forward and picked up a piece. As soon as he raised his hand, his expression suddenly changed. He rubbed it lightly with two fingers, and the petals turned into powder and fell.

Immediately, he took a closer look at the bouquet.

Yes, in a dusty room, this bouquet of roses is spotless...

Chen Yan had been monitoring the nearby movements with loud noises just now. It is true that Song Qingchan had never entered this room.

There is only one possibility. During the time Director Lin was hospitalized, people often came in and wiped the rose.

The symbol of the rose is self-evident. According to the description of the canteen man, Director Lin is obviously a playboy.

Who would be so infatuated with him?

Chen Yan straightened up and left the Lin family with his doubts in his arms.

When I went downstairs, I looked at the surveillance probe in the corner of the corridor. The transmission lines had been cut, and they were all deaf ears.

Outside the building, Song Qingchan stood quietly with her hands folded. She looked at Chen Yan who came out and asked, "What did you find?"

Chen Yan smiled helplessly, "I came here in vain and found nothing. I can only wait until I go to the hospital tomorrow to see more."

"Where are we going now?"

"That's it for today, everyone goes back to their homes."

Song Qingchan nodded, "Then we'll meet at Sunset Park at seven o'clock tomorrow morning."

"Bye-Bye."

After watching Song Qingchan leave the community, Chen Yan smoked a cigarette and then went to the canteen.

He asked the uncle if he had seen any strange women in the community recently.

The uncle immediately objected, saying that his eyes could miss everything except women.

The two chatted happily and soon became familiar with each other.

Before leaving, Chen Yan left him his phone number.

He also asked him to notify him immediately if he found a stranger going to Building No. [-], and the uncle agreed wholeheartedly.

When he walked out of the community gate, the elderly security guard was still snoring in the guard booth, and Song Qingchan's car had disappeared.

Chen Yan didn't go back to Jiezi immediately, but started wandering on the street.

After a day of investigation, he actually discovered a key clue, which was also the main reason why he suspected Director Lin.

Let's first assume that those masked men are friends with Director Lin, and then combine the experiences of Yuan Chong and Song Qingchan.

If the main purpose of the masked man is to do some experiments on the actor, so as to achieve some of his own ulterior purposes.

The theft of the Lianzhong Bank's vault was most likely just a means to attract the city's attention, leading the committee to seek help from Chiguodian to participate in the investigation.

Only in this way can the God Actors show up and actively fall into their trap.

This involves a key question - how did this group of masked men accurately know the identities and movements of the actors participating in the investigation?

And based on this, he set up a plan to capture the God Actor.

There is only one possibility. They have a way to get the list of performers who have received the reward, and they have their informants in the committee.

Judging from the clues obtained so far, this person is probably Director Lin.

But Song Qingchan was attacked not long ago, and at that time, Director Lin was already hospitalized.

Chen Yan looked up at the lonely night sky, where hyena gangs, roses, eyeliner, experiments... many complicated threads were mixed together.

It seemed chaotic, but in his eyes, it was just some easily dispersed clouds, and only a strong wind could blow them all away.

He wandered around aimlessly for half an hour, trying to see if he could use his body as bait to lure the snake out of its hole, but the masked men didn't seem to be interested in him.

Just as he was about to leave, Inspector Zhou's phone call came in. The message was brief, but like thunder.

"Hey, come to the police station, Ma Liu was caught."

So fast!Chen Yan immediately became energetic, turned around and hurried towards the city without stopping.

At the same time, the moonlight shifted, and Director Lin's bedroom fell into darkness.

In the silence, the roses in the vase slowly rose into the air in an extremely strange way.

Then, the rose petals fell one by one.
