Chapter 1212 Knocking on the Door at Midnight
"Wipe it."

Chen Mingming brought some tissues from the living room.

Only then did Zhao Le notice that his face was stained with blood, he smiled embarrassedly, then took a tissue and began to wipe it off.

Chen Mingming glanced at the carefully and neatly chopped ribs on the chopping board, and said casually, "Your knife skills are pretty good. Have you considered becoming a chef?"

Zhao Le chuckled and said, "I'm just doing it for a while now. It's okay to do it at home, but if I really want to be a chef in a restaurant, I'm afraid I'll die of laughter."

Chen Mingming nodded, and casually leaned against the door of the refrigerator next to him, chatting like a classmate: "Have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

It is a very normal topic for current students to talk about their future prospects.

Zhao Le hummed, and looked out the window, seemingly hopeful, "Lawyer, right? I was originally a law major."

"For justice?" Chen Mingming asked curiously.

Zhao Le smiled shyly, picked up the kitchen knife and swept the bones aside, then began to slice ginger, "Does it feel silly? Lawyers who uphold justice basically don't make much money, do they?"

"Domestic lawyers are largely different from foreign ones." Chen Mingming said indifferently, "It's also different from acting as lawyers in Hong Kong movies."

Zhao Le nodded and didn't say anything. After cutting the ginger slices like this, he began to pick up the green vegetables again, "What about you? What do you want to do in the future? You have such good grades in profiling class. Father's business?"

"Let's talk about it later." Chen Mingming lowered his head and didn't know what to think.

At the beginning, Chen Mingming's parents separated, and when the divorce ended, they were very low-key. The classmates didn't know about Chen Mingming's family situation.

"That's right, anyway, there's still a lot of time, so think about it slowly." Zhao Le nodded.

Chen Mingming glanced at the refrigerator behind him at this moment, then opened the refrigerator door and took a few glances, and suddenly said: "This refrigerator is getting old, should it be replaced with a new one? Otherwise, there will be potential safety hazards."

The hand picking vegetables stopped suddenly, and then continued, Zhao Le turned around and smiled: "If it still works, use it first, if it doesn't work, fix it, but thank you for reminding...you can wait outside ? You are a guest, there is no reason for you to stand in the kitchen."

"It's okay, sitting is sitting." Chen Mingming nodded, and took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, "I drink this."

"it is good!"

……

Dinner was ready soon, and the siblings and Chen Mingming ate casually.

Chen Mingming was a relatively quiet person, but Zhang Xiaoqin was quite cheerful after he regained his composure and chatted a lot about things.She said that the house has not had guests for a long time, and it has not been lively for a long time.

After dinner, Chen Mingming proposed to leave, Zhang Xiaoqin asked Zhao Le to go out to see her off, she is really a hospitable person.

"Your sister is fine now."

Downstairs, Chen Mingming said with some emotion: "I remember when the class organized a visit last time, she was quite silent."

"Yeah... I'm actually ready for a long-term struggle." Zhao Le also let out a sigh of relief, looked at the night and said: "That night my sister suddenly spoke to me, and then offered to go to rehabilitation Training, I'm so happy."

Chen Mingming casually said, "Does your sister know about the corpse dismemberment case?"

Zhao Le's smile froze a bit, and then he nodded, "After the accident, two policemen came to ask."

He was not surprised that Chen Mingming knew about the relationship between Zhang Xiaoqin and Wang Liang.

One reason is that Chen Mingming had visited with his classmates before and knew about Zhang Xiaoqin; on the other hand, Chen Mingming's father was a police officer in this city. As a family member, Chen Mingming knew more or less about such a big case as the corpse dismemberment case. strangeness.

Chen Mingming nodded and said, "Based on your sister's previous relationship with Wang Liang, it will be a matter of time before they come to you."

Zhao Le hummed.

Chen Mingming said: "Don't worry, the murderer will be caught sooner or later, it's just a matter of time. Just don't let these things affect your current life."

Zhao Le nodded silently, and he subconsciously said, "I hear what you mean, do the police have any clues?"

Chen Mingming said calmly: "These things will not be disclosed casually. If you ask me, I don't know the bottom line."

"That's true..." Zhao Le nodded.

Chen Mingming said: "However, Skynet is full of details. No matter how careful the murderer is, there will definitely be holes left at the scene. It may just not be discovered yet. We have read a lot of cases, you should know."

"Yeah." Zhao Le smiled, looked at Chen Mingming and said, "Let's not talk about this... You are leaving next Wednesday, so I probably won't be able to go to the airport to see you off. If you have time, remember to come back and have a look."

"There is a chance." Chen Mingming smiled slightly.

Zhao Leqi said: "It's not easy seeing you smile for the first time."

The girl from the library also said the same thing... Chen Mingming was taken aback, then left without saying anything, nodded.

……

"Is the classmate gone?"

Zhao Le went upstairs, and as soon as he opened the door of the house, he saw Zhang Xiaoqin clearing the dining table, and hurried up, "I'll be fine, sister, go and have a rest... go take a bath, I've been tired all day .”

"Hmm... that's fine." Zhang Xiaoqin nodded and said with a smile, "I'll just do it myself."

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqin had already walked into the bathroom, Zhao Le put down his things and sat down... He suddenly took out his phone and clicked on it.

It's just that his fingers stayed on the interface for a moment, as if hesitating for something.

The next moment, Zhao Le gritted his teeth and put down the phone directly.

As the time passed, Zhao Le looked at the clock on the wall...suddenly stood up - he walked to the bathroom door and knocked twice.

"Lezi?" Zhang Xiaoqin's voice came from the bathroom, "I'm almost ready, just wait."

"It's not sister, I'm telling you, I'm going out for a while."

"Go out? Where can I get out after this point?"

"The detergent at home is gone, I'll go buy some." Zhao Le said casually, "By the way, let's see what else is missing... Sister, do you still have toothpaste?"

"Toothpaste... There's still half a tube left." Zhang Xiaoqin said, "Then you go, be careful."

"Okay, ma'am."

As he said that, Zhao Le breathed a sigh of relief—he didn't put on his shoes and socks, but instead went to the kitchen, first poured out the half bucket of dishwashing liquid left on the cupboard, and then took the keys to go out .

Zhao Le hurriedly went downstairs, looked around downstairs, wrapped up his clothes, put on the hood, and then swept a shared bicycle parked downstairs, and then rode away.

Under an old tree not far away, a figure came out after Zhao Le left.

Chen Mingming looked at the figure who was about to disappear at the intersection...thoughtful.

……

……

Since these are likely to be two different cases, it is not possible to specialize in one of them.

In the afternoon, the special case team was divided into two groups. One group was led by Ma Houde and rushed to X City as quickly as possible, while Zhou Yusheng was mainly in charge of Wang Liang's case.

Zhou Yusheng hadn't heard from Chen Mingming for most of the day. Except at noon, after Chen Mingming had finished watching Wang Liang's work place and made a phone call to report, he never contacted him again.

It was past time for dinner, and his wife called to explain that she hadn't come home. Zhou Yusheng couldn't help feeling a little worried, and was about to make a phone call to inquire about something, but a colleague from the group knocked on the door and walked in.

"Team Zhou, I found something!"

"Oh?" Zhou Yusheng regained his energy immediately, and asked quickly, "What did you find?"

"We have found the person who may have seen Wang Liang last." The colleague said a little excitedly at this time.

"Well, where is this person now?"

The colleague said: "It's a coincidence that this person happens to be in the detention center!"

"Ok?"

At the same time, he said: "It's like this, because Wang Liang has no relatives in this city, and we didn't even know what he was doing when he was killed, so we sent a warning on the radio and newspapers, hoping that someone can The person who provided the clues appeared...unexpectedly, it really did appear."

"In the detention center? Who is it?"

The colleague said: "It's a private loan... Zhou team, you also know that these people are not very clean. The reason why this guy was arrested was because he had a fight with the creditor when he came to collect the debt Someone was injured, and later called the police and was arrested."

"Private loan..." Zhou Yusheng tapped his finger on the table, "Wang Liang borrowed money from this guy's company?"

"That's right!" The colleague sat down, "According to this person's account, he met Wang Liang on December 12st...and this time happened to be the time of Wang Liang's death as judged by the South Forensic Doctor!"

"I want to interrogate this person myself!" Zhou Yusheng said in a deep voice.

……

Interrogation room.

Wearing an orange prison uniform, the man with his hair shaved short and with tattoos on his hands was brought in by two uniformed policemen, and then pressed on a stool.

After the basic information was confirmed, Zhou Yusheng looked at the other party at this time, and went straight to the point, "You said you met Wang Liang on December 12st?"

"Yes, ah SIR." The man nodded.

Zhou Yusheng said, "Why are you sure it's December 12st?"

The man said: "In our company, every time the latest repayment date is the 1st of the next month. This Wang Liang happened to be on the list of defaulters, so I went to him that day, so I remember Be very careful."

"Tell me about the situation." Zhou Yusheng said casually.

"I remember that day..." The man began to recall, "It was a coincidence that day, I saw Wang Liang on the street, so I caught him in the alley..."

……

"Brother Long, Brother Long, if you have something to say, say it well, say it well."

In the alley, a man named Long Ge grabbed Wang Liang's hand, pinned his head, pressed him against the wall, and said with a sneer, "Good boy, can you hide? My debt to Long Ge You dare to hide? You don’t want to mess around here anymore, do you?”

"Brother Long, let go first, and speak slowly if you have something to say, I will definitely pay back the money, don't worry?"

Brother Long snorted coldly, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Liang's head, and said, "You have money, right? If you have money to return to others, why don't you return it to me?"

"No way, who did you listen to? I will definitely exchange it for you as soon as I have money!"

"Hmph, don't think I don't know!" Brother Long patted vigorously again, "I don't know who lends you money in the vicinity? Someone told me that your boy has paid you back in the past few days." 10,000+, right? Just don’t pay me back, right? Not still?”

"Don't hit, don't hit Brother Long! Don't hit..."

……

This guy called Brother Long was careful, and he stretched out his hands at this time, simulating the situation at that time.

"I didn't expect this kid to suddenly get excited, stepped on my foot, and pushed me to the ground!"

Brother Long said angrily: "I was so angry at the time. I didn't think much of it when I saw the kid run away. I just picked up a wine bottle and threw it over! I didn't expect it to be quite accurate! It directly exploded the kid head!"

"Then what?" Zhou Yusheng glared angrily.

Only then did Long Ge shrug his shoulders: "This grandson didn't stop either. I chased him all the way, but this kid ran away. I was thinking about going to the place where this kid works to catch him, but I didn't expect to catch him the next day. I was arrested... Ah, SIR, tell me, does this count as meritorious service? Can my sentence be commuted?"

Zhou Yusheng said blankly: "I don't know if it will be reduced or not... But according to what you just said, you are suspected of illegally using violence against others, and there is sufficient evidence."

"Ah? This...ah SIR, I remember wrongly, I was just chatting with him at the time, I didn't hit anyone, really didn't!"

Zhou Yusheng shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Take it away."

Afterwards, Zhou Yusheng and his colleagues left the interrogation room and started discussing in the corridor.

The lights in the hallway were flickering and unsteady.

"This guy named Long Ge probably didn't lie." Zhou Yusheng said firmly.

"Well... But it seems that he is not the last person to see Wang Liang." The colleague nodded.

But Zhou Yusheng stopped suddenly, "Go and check to see if Wang Liang really paid back a lot of money as Brother Long said before November 11rd to December 23st last year."

"Hmm... ok." The colleague nodded.

Zhou Yusheng seemed to think of something again, "Wait a minute, you also check Wu Rong's account to see if there are any large sums of money spent."

"Team Zhou, you mean?"

"Go and check first, and tell me the result as soon as you find it..." Zhou Yusheng thought for a while and then said: "It's best to be more detailed. Any consumption records and transfer records must be clear."

"it is good!"

……

Zhao Le rode his bicycle all the way, and stopped in front of a supermarket—but he didn't go into the supermarket. Instead, he started from here and called another motorcycle for soliciting customers at night.

Not long after, the motorcycle stopped in front of an old street.

After Zhao Le paid in cash, he lowered his head and walked into the old street - he walked along the road with few people, and stopped in front of an old house not long after.

He didn't go up, he just hid in the corner downstairs and looked up.

Zhao Le stared at it for a moment, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally he gritted his teeth and chose to leave.

But what he didn't expect was that when he turned around, he saw a figure standing under the street lamp... Chen Mingming.

"Ming, Mingming...why are you here?" Zhao Le froze.

Chen Mingming approached slowly under the street lights, without saying a word, just looking into Zhao Le's eyes... This made Zhao Le subconsciously take a step back.

"You... Is there anything you want to tell me." Chen Mingming sighed and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Le slowly took a breath, then smiled and said: "What a coincidence, did you come to see it too? I heard what you said tonight, and I couldn't help but be curious, so I wanted to come to this place to have a look... Take a look This place where scumbags die."

Chen Mingming nodded, and said calmly: "In this case, let's go up and have a look."

As he spoke, Chen Mingming walked up the stairs without waiting for Zhao Le.

Zhao Le never thought that Chen Mingming would go up directly, and couldn't help frowning... He hesitated for a moment, but finally bit his teeth and followed.
