Detective: From the Police Academy

Chapter 70 Adeline by the Water

It is now noon and more than two hours have passed, but there is no trace of the Mercedes-Benz.

The police officer who was out visiting called and said that he had found where He Dawang was eating, in a Hong Kong-style restaurant on Qingquan Road.

This further proves that the place where He Dawang was killed and the place where Zhu Lizhi disappeared were nearby.

"Why is Zhu Lizhi here?"

Qian Xiao asked. She followed behind her cousin and wanted to get closer to Luo Rui, but was always blocked by her cousin.

She has been following the news recently and knows what case her cousin and others are investigating.

The disappearance of Zhu Lizhi has become a hot topic on the Internet and has become a hot topic among many students.

Especially the boys who admire her, they spend every day on the Internet tracking clues.

Cai Xiaojing looked at Luo Rui. She held a stick in one hand and a walkie-talkie in the other. From time to time, paging sounds from other teams could be heard from the walkie-talkie.

"She must have been called here by someone she knows. By looking at her social connections, we can definitely catch the murderer..."

Luo Rui spoke very slowly, especially the last sentence, which seemed to leave him speechless.

Cai Xiaojing knew that he couldn't say more, so she pushed her cousin behind her.

"Stay away!"

Cai Xiaojing really regretted that she shouldn't have told the girl about Luo Rui's deeds.

From the look in her cousin's eyes, she didn't know what the other party was planning?
She was originally going to study forensics, but when she found out that Luo Rui was studying criminal investigation, she changed her major and almost pissed off her family to death.

I don’t know what she likes about Luo Rui?

I've never even met you, but you're already in love with me?
Could this be the long-cherished legend?

Qian Xiao curled his lips and had to step back several meters.

Seeing her cousin and Luo Rui walking side by side in front of her, she felt sad.

This doesn't look like a search for clues at all. It looks more like a scene of young men and women walking in the fields in the English countryside in the 18th century.

In recent days, she has been regretting going to see that crappy movie with Zhou Zhongkun, and Luo Rui actually ran into them.

The other party must feel that he is a scumbag.

Luo Rui has a girlfriend, and she is so beautiful, especially her long legs. If she wears stockings, I would drool and want to hit her with a rubber band. What about a man?

After Cai Xiaojing chased her cousin away, she looked at Luo Rui again.

"You just didn't finish your sentence. Are you worried about something?"

Luo Rui looked back at her: "Mr. Cai, I'm worried that the murderer will kill more people!"

"I've thought about this, but I don't know who the murderer's target will be?"

Then, she asked again: "Could it be Ye Xiaotian?"

Luo Rui shook his head: "It's hard to say. I think the murderer has been lurking. If he wanted to kill someone, he would have killed him long ago. I guess he wouldn't have waited this long."

"Indeed, I can't figure it out either. The murderer handled He Dawang's body in such a high-profile manner, but what about Zhu Lizhi? She's just missing. I suspect she may not be dead."

Luo Rui pondered for a while: "If we extend your speculation further, can we imagine that Zhu Lizhi is actually the real murderer?"

"what?"

Cai Xiaojing opened her eyes wide, an expression of disbelief on her face.

"You have to make bolder guesses." Luo Rui said, "For example, maybe she actually killed He Dawang, and then she pretended to be missing and went into hiding?"

Luo Rui remembered that there was a movie abroad in which the heroine did just this to avenge her husband. It could be said to be the ultimate showdown between a mean man and a mean woman.

"But why would she do this?"

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Of course it's to break free from the shackles!"

Cai Xiaojing still found it hard to believe, but Ye Xiaotian's words during the interrogation were still ringing in her ears: he just treated Zhu Lizhi as a pet.

She knelt and crawled on the ground in front of the people attending the party. No one could bear such a tragic experience.

Luo Rui smiled and said, "Don't think too much. I'm just guessing. Besides, she doesn't have the strength to strangle He Dawang. Not to mention moving the body to Dalin Mountain and hanging it up."

Cai Xiaojing nodded. She indeed thought so.

……

The sun rises from the east, and the sunlight feels warm on my back.

It was almost ten in the morning, and the search team still hadn't found anything. Every now and then, Cai Xiaojing's intercom would transmit each other's positions, but there was no clue to the news.

Dalin Mountain is too large and surrounded by dense vegetation, so few people come here. It is really a good place for murder and arson.

If the Mercedes-Benz couldn't be found here, Cai Xiaojing really couldn't figure out where the murderer would hide the car.

She walked along with her mind wandering, and just as she lifted her left foot...

Luo Rui bent down and grabbed her calf.

Qian Xiao was stunned when he saw this from behind. Could it be that Mr. Luo really likes girls with long legs?

My cousin's long legs were also used to cover myself.

Cai Xiaojing blushed and looked at Luo Rui in confusion.

But the other person's face was very serious: "Don't move!"

"what happened?"

Luo Rui raised his head and looked diagonally forward.

Cai Xiaojing also looked in the direction he was looking.

She found a dirt road diagonally ahead.

There was a slope covered with weeds below the dirt road, and the weeds spread all the way to the lake.

The weeds were less than two meters apart and were all crushed, lying flat on the ground!

She widened her eyes: "This..."

"It's like being run over by a car tire!"

Cai Xiaojing's heart skipped a beat.

The two of them looked towards the lake in front of them at the same time.

At this time, the sun was shining on the water, making it sparkle.

There were wild ducks swimming in the mist that had not yet dissipated.

Luo Rui avoided the tire marks and walked carefully towards the lake.

Qian Xiao also wanted to move forward, but was stopped by his cousin.

"Just stay here and don't move around!"

After saying that, she followed the direction Luo Rui had just walked and moved forward cautiously.

This lake has no name or title, it is just called a lake.

It's always here and it can't go anywhere.

Following the path covered with weeds, Luo Rui came to the lakeside and saw two clear tire marks on the edge...

All the way to the lake!

Cai Xiaojing also saw it. Her face changed immediately and she quickly reported the news into the intercom.

Soon, all the detectives, except the students, came rushing over from all directions.

When they saw the tire tracks, everyone's faces began to light up with joy.

Finally found!
The murderer pushed the Mercedes into the lake!
Soon, the people around started to get busy...

Yang Qian began to report to his superiors, then notified the frogmen and contacted the Technical Investigation Department and the forensic doctor.

If you want to salvage the Mercedes-Benz, you need tools such as a crane.

Chen Hao resisted the urge to smoke. Whenever there was a new clue in the case, he would have a cigarette to relieve the stress.

He patted Luo Rui on the shoulder: "Good job!"

Compared with these criminal police, Luo Rui was not very happy.

Luo Rui thought of a famous piano piece, "Adeline at the Water's Edge".

This song describes the beauty by the lake...

Will Zhu Lizhi be in this lake?
Is she dead?
