The dappled beams of light painted tree shadows, and crisp birdsong intertwined. In the courtyard of the villa area, an old woman was washing the lawn with a water hose.

The cool water dissipated some of the heat, and the sound of a car at the door made the old woman narrow her eyes and look out cautiously.

When Qi Ling and Xu Han got out of the car, they saw Lin Butler of Zhao Maochen's family.

The old man holds a water pipe, has gray hair, but is well-dressed, and has a straight back.Seeing Qi Ling's dazed mind, she nodded neither humble nor overbearing.

"Officer Qi, what's the matter?"

Qi Ling looked at her and said, "Is Zhao Maochen at home?"

The old woman frowned: "Officer Qi, our young master really has nothing to do with this case. He has been frightened enough. I hope you can understand the feelings of an elder."

The place was covered in shadows, Qi Ling didn't care about her tone, and said with a smile: "Compared to elders, I can understand the mood of the dead better, Steward Lin, please cooperate with the police in handling the case."

Lin Butler had something to say, a young man walked out of the villa.

"Officer Qi, come in."

Qi Ling immediately smiled even wider, holding a black umbrella and walked over, Xu Hanzhi didn't look at the butler, and followed closely beside Qi Ling.

Zhao Maochen invited Qi Ling and Xu Hanzhi to the living room, and poured them a glass of water in silence.

Qi Ling looked at the boy carefully. Unlike his previous impression, Zhao Maochen had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were black and blue, and he looked like he hadn't slept well for a long time.There was stubble on his chin, and his normally neat haircut was a little messy.

Zhao Maochen tried his best to smile at Qi Ling, that smile couldn't be more normal, but it was always flattering to look at.

Zhao Maochen's parents are busy with work on weekdays. Except for a few servants, there are only him and Lin Butler in this house. The room is very bright and looks warm and comfortable.

"I'm not talking nonsense with you, do you know this person?" Qi Ling took out Gan Xinzhu's photo and put it on the table.

Zhao Maochen sat on the sofa awkwardly, took a look at the photo, nodded and said, "Yes, Gan Xinzhu, a sophomore from the Department of Journalism."

"I remember you were a junior, and you majored in economics." Xu Hanzhi was imposing, and he was not polite. The second uncle seemed to be sitting on the sofa, but he was more like the owner of this place than Zhao Maochen.

Only then did Zhao Maochen look at him, and saw that this man was dressed more like a rich second generation than himself, so he couldn't match this man with the police for a while.

Xu Hanzhi was impatient: "I'm asking you something."

Only then did Zhao Maochen say: "Yes."

"How did you and Gan Xinzhu know each other?" Xu Hanzhi continued to look at him, and took a sip of the glass of water.

His pupils are deep-colored, and he looks sharp like a wild beast staring at its prey. However, if you look closely, those eyes are clear and without any emotion.

Qi Ling looked back at his raised legs, Xu Hanzhi paused the hand holding the cup, put his legs down calmly and straightened his back.

Zhao Maochen pursed his lips and said, "It doesn't count as acquaintance, but I just know her."

Qi Ling glanced at him, and Zhao Maochen immediately sped up his speech: "She took a photo of Lu Daiyun's speech before and posted it on the campus website. Gu... Gu Zishi also fell in love with Lu Daiyun at that time."

So what the hell can you call liking?

Qi Ling chuckled lightly, looked into Zhao Maochen's eyes, and said, "Gan Xinzhu is dead."

Zhao Maochen's pupils shrank, and he froze for a moment, then his face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his head was soaked in sweat within a few seconds.

With a shake of his hand, the photo fell to the ground lightly. The girl in the skirt smiled sweetly and her eyes were as bright as a star.

"enough!"

Lin Butler came in from the door aggressively, hid Zhao Maochen behind him distressedly, and stared at Qi Ling and Xu Hanzhi.

"Go and catch the murderer if you have the ability, what do you want to say to my children!"

"Maochen saw such a thing with his own eyes, and he has been restless for half a month. Just when he got better, you came to force him again!" Lin Butler's silver hair trembled angrily: "Maochen just failed to rescue him. He has already blamed himself enough! Could it be considered a crime if he was not saved?"

The old lady took a breath, full of air: "You go, the Lin family doesn't welcome you!"

Xu Hanzhi didn't hear about it, Qi Ling has been handling cases for many years, met many people like this, calmly said: "We are doing business, it has nothing to do with you."

Butler Lin sneered: "I will kick you out today, what can you do to me, if you dare to touch me, I will report to you, old lady!"

Xu Hanzhi frowned.

Butler Lin was about to continue, when suddenly he closed his eyes and fell to the side.

Zhao Maochen was taken aback, hugged the old lady and screamed, and looked at the two in horror: "What did you do! What happened to her!"

Xu Hanzhi was irritated by his call: "Fall asleep."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Qi Ling again, and explained: "It's fine when you wake up."

Qi Ling didn't care, he skipped the episode and looked at Zhao Maochen: "You told us before that you wanted to save Lu Daiyun."

Zhao Maochen was sweating profusely. He knew something was wrong with the case from the moment he saw the corpse.

These days he tried to talk about the case with others, but whenever he wanted to tell others about his miraculous guesses, his mouth seemed to be stuck with glue.

I can't write, I can't speak, it's like seeing a ghost.

At this moment, seeing Steward Lin collapse without warning, he fully understood what had happened to him.

"Yes... I went to save her."

This matter was clearly explained early in the morning, and it was not accidental that Zhao Maochen appeared in that alley.

According to him, it was because he heard Gu Zi mentioned this before, and he went to save people with the idea of ​​Ning Xinqi.

Qi Ling picked up the photo of Gan Xinzhu on the ground and shook his head: "It's a lie."

Zhao Maochen retorted with trembling lips: "I didn't."

"I doubted it before, and I would rather be wrong."

Qi Ling caressed the photo, and there was a faint finger print on the back, which was just stained by Zhao Maochen.

May I ask which person with a clear conscience would be so frightened by a single sentence?

Zhao Maochen was full of fear, and he didn't care to refute Qi Ling's words. He shook his hands and looked at Qi Ling: "The one who killed Gan Xinzhu, yes, was it Lu Daiyun?"

It must be her...

Is she going to kill all the people related to this case?

Then wouldn't he be targeted too!

Qi Ling stared at him: "Lu Daiyun is also dead."

Zhao Maochen was stunned suddenly: "Is she dead?"

"Lu Daiyun committed suicide when he was arrested a few days ago, and Gan Hsinchu was murdered in Taijiang District yesterday afternoon." Xu Hanzhi straightened his sleeves and continued, "The death is the same as that of Liu Sheng in Guzi. "

Zhao Maochen frowned, suddenly thought of a bold idea, and instantly trembled even more.

"Could it be, her... ghost?"

He trembled at these words, and almost died of breath.

Qi Ling didn't answer, and Xu Hanzhi didn't speak either. Seeing that Zhao Maochen was too frightened to speak, and couldn't ask any more questions, they got up and left.

Zhao Maochen refused to let them go.

"Officer Qi, save me! Will she come to me too! Will she kill me!"

At this time, Zhao Maochen didn't look like a romantic boy at all, he stumbled and grabbed Qi Ling's clothes, embarrassed and frightened.

Qi Ling frowned, and wanted to pull that claw off, but before he could reach out, Xu Hanzhi threw him away.

Xu Hanzhi stared at the paw unhappily, Qi Ling only thought that Xu Hanzhi was getting impatient, and his eyelids twitched, afraid that this person would act violently.

Just kidding, this will be a red card.

So Qi Ling hurriedly dragged Xu Hanzhi to the door, turned to Zhao Maochen and said, "Probably not, you should pay attention to it, and call the police if something happens."

Is there still time for the fuck! ! !

Zhao Maochen's eyeballs were about to pop out, but he didn't dare to yell at these two people. He could only watch them walk out of the gate and smash everything in the living room to pieces angrily.

Lin Butler was finally awakened by the sound, and when he saw Zhao Maochen yelling, he ran over in fright.

"Hey, ancestor, I just went out for a while, what are you doing?"

Obviously, she no longer remembered Qi Ling and Xu Hanzhi's visit, and only thought that she had just returned from outside.

The fear in Zhao Maochen's heart was even worse. He looked around nervously, always feeling that a monster would come out of the dark place and kill him immediately.

For a while, even the paintings on the wall looked like Lu Daiyun. Zhao Maochen frantically tore up those paintings, butler Lin chased after him, his eyes reddened.

"Aunt Lin, Auntie! Help me take them off, I don't want to see them!"

Zhao Maochen yelled frantically: "I don't want to look! She's coming to see me, she's coming!"

Butler Lin hurriedly comforted him: "Okay, I'll take it off, take it all off."

And when Butler Lin went to pick the painting, Zhao Maochen frantically turned on all the lights in the house. Butler Lin looked at the bright sky and shed tears silently.

What is going on here.

……

"If you don't tell him, Lu Daiyun has completely disappeared?"

Xu Hanzhi opened his mouth and said, he started the car, and the hot air was immediately expelled by the air conditioner.

Qi Ling hummed, and turned his head to see Xu Hanzhi casually unbuttoning his shirt. This man had already taken off his coat and threw it behind him, and he refused to wear the shirt inside right now.

Today's demons are really as unreserved as people.

Qi Ling frowned and stared at Xu Hanzhi's exposed collarbone, Xu Hanzhi was hot, when he saw Qi Ling looking over, he stopped.

In the end Qi Ling still didn't say anything, he turned his head, unscrewed his water glass and took a sip before saying, "If I'm right, Lu Daiyun was going to face three people that day."

A person who is eager to save people will not eat in a small restaurant so leisurely, and a person with justice in his heart will not be so restless after the crime.

If it was really just because of self-blame, Zhao Maochen would not have reacted like this. He has ghosts in his heart, and Qi Ling doesn't mind giving him another root.

Maybe he misread the time, or maybe he got caught up in something, Zhao Maochen came a step late, and luckily missed the god of death.

Xu Hanzhi also thought about it before, he drove the car onto the main road and said, "Where are we going next?"

Qi Ling flipped through the phone, finally called up the navigation, and put it on the phone holder in front of the car.

"Summer and Autumn Gallery."

Xu Hanzhi happily acted as the driver: "Who are you looking for?"

Qi Ling looked straight ahead, rubbed his eyes and said, "It is said that Lu Daiyun has a boyfriend."

Xu Hanzhi raised his eyebrows: "It's not written in the file."

Qi Ling looked serious, and didn't know what he was thinking. It took a few minutes before he answered: "The previous case was simple in thinking, and there were not many people involved in the case, so the investigation was not so detailed."

"But it's different now. There must be something hidden in this case that hasn't been uncovered. This boyfriend should be the breakthrough point."

One of Xu Han frowned and interrupted disapprovingly: "No."

Qi Ling was surprised: "What's wrong?"

Xu Hanzhi said seriously: "It's not a boyfriend, it's Lu Daiyun's boyfriend."

Qi Ling: ...

Is there any difference?

The author has something to say: Xu Hanzhi: Of course there is a difference!

Qi Ling: You are mentally retarded and you can decide what you say.
