him under the stars

Chapter 32 See Through
Xu Xing walked over, concealed a trace of nervousness in his heart and stopped the two of them, his voice was clear and resounding: "Hello, ma'am, I'm a policeman."

She flicked the documents in her hand and put them away.

As expected, the woman didn't take a closer look, but her reaction was delayed by the sudden arrival of the police.On the contrary, the man's expression changed, he looked around, his eyes finally stopped on Han Chen who was not far away, and he unconsciously let go of the hand around the woman's waist.

"It's like this. Many people have disappeared in this jurisdiction recently. We suspect that this is a premeditated crime." Xu Xing glanced at the man's slightly different face, and asked the woman with a smile: "Li Jing, you should know, you Know anyone who was particularly sexually violent or had contact with her?"

"It's her again." The woman rolled her eyes: "According to me, you don't need to look for the police, don't you just disappear? To tell you the truth, I've seen a lot of people like her. I'm fishing and I want to start again Life, you can’t change the city and change the name, carefully hide the past, why do you have nothing to do to check this?”

Xu Xing smiled, and before he could reply, he was pulled aside by the man.

He glanced nonchalantly at Han Chen who was leaning against the street lamp, and said in a low voice, "This...comrade police officer, please tell Officer Han that this matter has nothing to do with me. I just came back from a business trip abroad this morning... ..."

Han Chen is amazing, he has seen it last time, it is really difficult, he never wants to meet again in this life.

The corners of Xu Xing's eyes curled up, and he had a half-smile: "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking."

As she spoke, she turned around, paused as she passed the woman, and looked back at the man.

Under the shadowy lights, the man's cheeks twitched slightly.Sensing the gaze, he raised his head and looked at Xu Xing.After a few seconds, he smiled calmly.

Xu Xing pulled his lips and walked away.

When she returned to Han Chen's place and looked over, the man had already left without knowing what he had said to the woman.

It's just the effort of a cigarette.

Xu Xing threw away the police officer's card in his hand and threw it to Han Chen.

He took it and asked softly, "Are you happy?"

"It feels weird." Xu Xing frowned, "I can't describe it, but...it's very relaxing."

Weird description.

She looked at the woman, but her eyes were floating, as if she was staring at something beyond the woman.

But there were more than one or two strange things about her. Han Chen threw the cigarette butt into the trash can far away, and said without looking back: "Let's go, there is still business."

When a friend disappears, the reaction of ordinary people can be roughly divided into three levels—doubt, sadness, and concern.

Doubting whether something is true is a subconscious evasion of people when facing something they don't want to face.

Feel sad to ask about the progress of the investigation and actively contribute what you know.

care about his family.

The three levels are progressive in sequence.If the family members are not at the scene, and because of the sudden impact of the incident, it is difficult for ordinary people to focus on the family members of the victim.

The police did not reveal much about Li Jing's case. As her friend, Chen Li's first two reactions were natural, but the third level entered too quickly, as if...she knew that Li Jing's life would be in danger.

Inside the nightclub, as far as the eye can see, it is noisy, drunk, and noisy.

Han Chen ordered a box and asked for Chen Li by name.

The person in charge was surprised for a moment, then glanced at Xu Xing, who was sitting beside him, with a perplexed expression on his face.

"Chen Li is not feeling well. She asked for leave today and didn't come. I will make arrangements for you..."

Before she finished speaking, Han Chen leaned back slightly with his legs crossed, and he threw the wine order list on the table with a "snap", and patted it with his hands on his knees.

The inside of the box was dimly lit for the sake of atmosphere.

From the person in charge's leaning angle, he could barely see the white jaw and side neck of the man on the sofa hidden in the darkness, with smooth lines.She lowered her head slowly: "I'll make arrangements now."

Xu Xing had never been to this kind of place. He was disgusted but also had a sense of novelty. He glanced at Han Chen and said in a long voice, "So skilled, it seems that I have come a lot."

Han Chen smiled.He has always had a cool demeanor, and usually even when he smiles, he is indifferent with a kind of disdainful pride, but now a smile that seems to be in a good mood often means that the next words are not very pleasant.

Xu Xing's brain instinctively gave an early warning, waved his hand, and faltered.

"Forget what I said was wrong, turn over the page, don't talk, I don't want to hear it."

"I was just thinking that there was something I didn't say just now." The corners of Han Chen's lips twitched slightly: "It's fine to study the Fa. After all, guilt or innocence cannot be determined by one person. It's just a good thing you didn't go to Public Security University, otherwise you might He has been reported and dismissed due to groundless speculation and slander."

Xu Xing: "..."

She turned her head, not wanting to talk to him.

Chen Li quickly came in with the wine, knelt down and placed the wine glass on the table.

Even if the light is not clear, it can be seen that this tall woman.The big V-neck tight skirt wraps a bumpy figure, the silk scarf is wrapped around the slender neck, the long hair is slightly curly, and her complexion is a little pale. She is adding wine to the glass with a smile on her lips, and is about to say something when she inadvertently raises her head and hands Just flick.The tray fell to the ground with a bang, and the wine bottle shattered.

The bright red liquid spilled on the ground, as hideous and dazzling as blood.

Chen Li looked at Han Chen, his lips parted slightly.

Xu Xing cried out in his heart.

Han Chen specially chose to come at night in casual clothes, obviously to inquire about the situation.But judging by her appearance, she clearly recognized her!
Chen Li kept his head up and didn't recover for a moment.For a moment, she felt a very oppressive gaze cast on her, which made her heart tighten.But soon, the man helped her up with one hand, and said softly, "Sit down and talk."

She hesitated for a moment and got up, sitting at the far end of the sofa.

As soon as he sat down, the lights in the box suddenly turned on.

Han Chen tapped the touch light with his fingertips, feeling that the light was too bright, and adjusted it two more degrees before withdrawing his hand lightly.

"Ms. Chen, I'm really sorry to meet you in this way."

Chen Li lowered his head and pulled his lips sarcastically, "I know you. It is said in the news that you have the highest rate of solving crimes and that you are a detective in Lincheng. A good cop. If you want to ask anything, ask."

"Then I won't go around in circles."

Although something went wrong, Chen Li's straightforwardness made Han Chen's voice warmer: "I want to know why you are so sure about Li Jing's disappearance."

"The reason?" Chen Li heard the words, with a wry smile on his face: "Isn't this very clear? Li Jing loves her son too much, but everyone who knows her knows that she is going crazy for Li Zhen's operation fee, and she can give up her life. How could that be?" Disappeared for no reason? Abandoning the past and starting again, that is the unified caliber specially ordered by the person in charge after knowing the police intervention."

Han Chen was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "Miss Chen, this is not what I want to hear."

"I'm not referring to the obvious clumsy lie of her own departure, nor the short-term imprisonment or rape of someone on a whim, but ... deliberate killing."

He looked at Chen Li calmly and calmly, and said slowly: "Someone is targeting your group, and you have already noticed it."

He, Han Chen, is neither a star nor a rich man.People who recognized him at a glance, except those related to public security, were those who liked to pay attention to or deliberately searched for crime news.For Chen Li, it was obviously the latter.

And when she noticed something, she felt uneasy, so she searched for this information.

Chen Li was a little surprised, but quickly suppressed it. After a moment of hesitation, she took two short breaths, and with trembling fingers, she tore off the silk scarf around her neck.

Xu Xing was surprised.

On Chen Li's white and slender neck, there was a bruised and purple palm pinch mark, which looked very obvious, and the depth was so deep that one could imagine how much strength the owner of the palm had used - this was a posture that wanted to strangle her to death!
"The night before yesterday, on the way home." Chen Li licked his lower lip and said in a low voice, "I don't know who it is, but he appeared suddenly, grabbed my neck from behind and dragged me back with great strength. I couldn’t break free, and I couldn’t make a sound when I wanted to ask for help. At that time, someone in the guild hall had disappeared, and there were a lot of rumors, so I became more careful and put a fruit knife in my bag.”

"I scratched him," she said. "When I was running, I saw a car behind me."

Chen Li pressed his sore eyelids with his hands, and let out a long breath: "I have never dared to think about what would have happened if I hadn't brought a knife or been dragged into the car that day. But I never thought that Li Jing would disappear the next day."

"Where is the approximate part of his scratch?" Han Chen asked.

Chen Li thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't think about anything at the time, even if I waved it back, maybe it just scratched the clothes."

"Do you remember the car model?"

She shook her head again: "It seems to be an ordinary van."

Han Chen nodded lightly.

Chen Li got up and picked up the glass shards into the tray: "That's all I know, and the time is almost up, I have to go out quickly, I'm afraid Sister Lan will think too much."

She opened the door, and before she left the handle, Xu Xing's clear voice suddenly came from behind: "Why, there is a reason why the two missing people can't leave?"

Otherwise, why would Chen Li put a weapon in his bag for self-defense.

Chen Li paused, looked back at Xu Xing for a while, and said in a sarcastic voice when he spoke again: "It seems that this police officer was born in a good family, and he went to school and worked smoothly. But some people are not as lucky as you, Once you get stuck on something, you can’t escape it for the rest of your life.”

Xu Xing was slightly stunned: "What you said was..."

"In our business, we will always meet some people with special hobbies. They like to see people kneeling on the ground begging for desire, huh. Such people can live a good life." Chen Li laughed: "Actually, I really hate Li Jing. I hate her for always looking like there is hope no matter how miserable life is. Her disappearance proves one more thing. People like us... are born to be cheap."

Her voice was very low, but it sounded unusually deep.

"We should just kneel on the ground and let others learn, don't think about standing up one day."

After saying that, Chen Li closed the door, turned and left.

In the box with only two people left, Han Chen was thinking about something, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, and said nothing.When he was about to think about it, when he was about to get up, his gaze paused.

The wine on the table was all drunk.

He glanced at Xu Xing. The woman was drinking the last glass of wine in her hand and swallowed it in a few gulps.

Xu Xing felt an indescribable aggrieved and stuffy feeling in his heart, and he couldn't get up or down.She put down the wine glass, intending to take another glass, but just as she stretched out her hand, she was blocked.

Han Chen held her slightly cool wrist, looked at her with Juan Mo's eyes, and said in a low voice, "Enough."
