No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 75 Goodbye, Police

It has been raining intermittently in Xijing City for many days, and the dark clouds are like thick black syrup that refuses to disperse in the sky.The old streets in the old city of Xijing City have already started to accumulate water. The traffic police wore rain capes to direct the traffic on the street, reminding passing vehicles to avoid low-lying blocks with water.

The street lamps on the street outside the window shone brightly. Under the rain, the lights sometimes brightened and sometimes dimmed.The rain hit the window sill, splashed water marks on the glass, and left stained marks on the wall through the illumination of street lamps.

The sound of rain continued to echo in the spacious living room. Along with the noisy footsteps and voices in the corridor, the sound of the door opening came from the foyer. The lights in the corridor flickered, and a figure quickly entered the door, and then closed the door.

A man wearing a decorator's overalls and a hood came to the living room through the porch. He wore gloves and turned on the flashlight in his hand. He went to the floor tiles in the center of the living room and looked down. The traces on the ground had already been cleaned up. .He walked slowly to the stereo, bent down and opened the cabinet containing the CD case.

Soon, the man turned around and came to a door, which was a lounge and bathroom.When he walked into the lounge, he heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.The man followed the sound and came to the bathtub. The faucet on the bathtub was dripping water. He lowered his body and turned off the faucet.

Back in the lounge, the man opened the closet to check the bathrobes hanging inside, and then opened the lower drawer, and the light of the flashlight swept through the drawer again and again.The man got up and turned off the flashlight, lost in thought.

A few minutes later, the man came to the second floor and wandered around the rooms, carefully checking every corner of the room.Just as he returned to the corridor on the second floor after checking the last room, the sound of glassware being broken came from downstairs.

The man turned off the flashlight, walked lightly along the stairs to the living room on the first floor.There was another sound of something falling over, like a wooden chair hitting a hard ground.

The sound comes from the restaurant!The man gently unzipped his clothes and took out a gun from the inside of his clothes. He raised the gun and walked in the dark.When he came to the door of the restaurant, the man dodged and pointed his gun at the restaurant inside the door.

A sound of footsteps came from the corridor between the dining room and the kitchen. The man walked quickly to the corridor with a gun in his hand, and quickly turned on the flashlight with the other hand.A beam of light shot straight at the end of the corridor, only hitting the man's back.

After the back disappeared in an instant, the man followed quickly.The circular corridor was empty, and he gently opened the sliding door closest to him, which was facing the dining room table.There was another footstep, this time from the living room.

Are you going to run away?The man walked quickly to the door leading to the living room. The light of the flashlight had just shone in the direction of the porch, and a figure suddenly appeared under the bright light.Before the man could react, he felt a chill on his neck... In the interrogation room of the Criminal Investigation Brigade, Yin Liang still didn't say a word about the case, and he insisted on seeing Tang Ning.

"This kid is quite arrogant, he has to see Tang Ning, he is so infatuated that he is a little crazy!" Song Chunming looked at the pale Yin Liang through the single-sided glass.

"No matter how difficult it is," You Tao stretched his waist. He participated in the interrogation all night. At this time, he was exhausted. "Let Tang Ning meet Yin Liang in this room last night. Tang Ning cried Like a tearful person, she has no intention of facing Yin Liang."

"Could it be so cold-blooded?" Song Chunming was puzzled, "Even if this Yin Liang is mentally ill, there's no need to be so heartless, right? Although it's not up to her to decide whether to see her or not, but..."

You Tao also shrugged.

In the conference room, An Youlin stared intently at the video on the projection screen, while Zhuo Qingshan had already seen enough of Yang Ping's angry howls.She had some doubts about the necessity of watching videos piece by piece.

"I have some questions that I don't understand."

Zhuo Qingshan propped her chin with one hand, staring at the projection screen with tired eyes. "Say!"

An Youlin was straightforward.

"Through the "Radesky March", we analyzed that the murderer had something to do with the awards ceremony, and naturally also with the hostesses at the awards ceremony." Zhuo Qingshan said, "I don't think he escaped from the circle of Yin Liang's crime. , Tang Ning once served as Miss Etiquette for an event planned by Yang Ping, and it is not surprising that there is an award ceremony..."

An Youlin stared at the screen intently, he shook his head and replied, "But I still feel something is wrong... Did Yin Liang explain any details related to the case?"

"Not yet. I asked Chunming and Taozi before, but Yin Liang didn't mention anything." "Well, let him hold it!"

As soon as An Youlin finished speaking, there was a sound of fast footsteps, and the door of the conference room was pushed open.An Youlin's attention was still on the projection screen, while Zhuo Qingshan turned to look at the door.

It was Xu Qingqing, her face was full of tears. "Qing Shan, Teacher An..." Xu Qingqing was already crying, "Guo Junfeng...Guo Junfeng..."

An Youlin also turned his face to look at Xu Qingqing. "What's wrong with Junfeng?" Zhuo Qingshan's face was pale, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition. "Guo Junfeng...he was killed..."

A cordon was put up outside the door of apartment 204 in the Tangning mansion. The police came in and out of the door, as if returning to the day when Yang Ping's body was found.It was also cloudy and rainy that day.In the living room of the apartment, Guo Junfeng was wearing a porter's overalls and lying on the floor tiles at the entrance of the restaurant. There was a deep knife mark on his neck across his carotid artery.Blood spread on the floor tiles, and his sidearm was a few steps away from him by the cabinet next to the wall.

People from the forensic team and the investigation team have arrived, examining the body and collecting clues at the scene.An Youlin frowned and looked at Guo Junfeng's corpse. His eyes were wide open, and it could be seen that this result was completely beyond his tolerance.

Standing outside the apartment door, Zhuo Qingshan couldn't help wiping away tears. She had never lost a colleague or comrade in arms.Although before graduating from the police academy, Zhuo Qingshan already knew that the police is a high-risk profession, and she has to face the life and death of her colleagues and comrades at any time.But when it really happened, she still had a hard time facing it.

Luo Gang's mouth was tightly closed, but he clenched his fists but had nowhere to vent the grief and anger in his heart.His eyes were red and his temples were twitching, making others afraid to approach him.

"Haven't we already caught the murderer?"

You Tao growled unwillingly while holding his forehead, and turned his face away not wanting to face Guo Junfeng's body.Song Chunming remained silent, but lowered his head.

An Youlin felt a heaviness in his chest, the picture in front of him began to tilt left and right irregularly, the sound of rain was particularly obvious, and the voices of the people around him were elongated.Gradually, there was a buzzing in his ears.

An Youlin took a few steps forward, patted his ears with his hands, and didn't realize that his body was shaking from side to side.His vision became more and more blurred, and strange shouts and roaring explosions sounded in his ears.

The dizzy An Youlin walked towards Luo Gang's back with his blurred vision.As the roar of the explosion kept echoing in his ears and mind, he felt a splitting headache.

"Luo Gang..."

"Luo Gang..."

Only then did You Tao and Song Chunming notice An Youlin who was behaving strangely.

Luo Gang heard An Youlin's low call, and turned around with a straight face.He saw An Youlin clutching his disheveled hair in pain and walking towards him with one hand raised, and he hurried to meet him with a few steps.

"An Youlin, what's wrong with you?" "Luo Gang...don't come...don't come..."

Before An Youlin finished speaking, he bumped into Luo Gang's body. Luo Gang hugged An Youlin whose legs were already weak.

"Don't...don't come here..."

An Youlin knelt on the ground and whispered in Luo Gang's ear. Luo Gang squatted on the ground, wrapped his arms around An Youlin's body, and replied in his ear: "I know, I won't go, I won't go."

Hearing Luo Gang's answer, An Youlin heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes darkened and he passed out.

It was only then that Zhuo Qingshan noticed what was happening in the apartment. She saw An Youlin kneeling loosely on the ground, and Luo Gang was squatting on the ground hugging An Youlin. An Youlin's head was hanging powerlessly on Luo Gang's shoulder. On... When An Youlin woke up, he found that he was lying on a hospital bed, beside Zhuo Qingshan who was crying.An Youlin glanced at the chair beside the bed, on which was his old black leather bag, and stared straight at the snow-white ceiling.

"You...wake up..." An Youlin didn't answer.

"You scared me to death!" Zhuo Qingshan complained, "Something happened to Junfeng, and you fell down again. I don't even know what to do!"

An Youlin said weakly: "Don't forget, you are a policeman."

"Why did you faint just now? The doctor said that you fainted because of being too tired these days and being stimulated. I don't believe it!"

"Is it because Junfeng's death reminded you of the case five years ago?" Zhuo Qingshan asked, "I know why you went to Captain Luo before you fainted. Director Li told me that night. The matter between you and Team Luo..."

An Youlin ignored Zhuo Qingshan's words, he sat up and lifted the quilt. "What are you doing?"

An Youlin looked at the time, it was almost noon, and he had been in a coma for several hours. "Back to the criminal investigation brigade!"
