small death

two

The first time Li Xiangming met Shihui was at 6:25 on June 16.It was his first murder case, so many things were very clear.It was Friday, his girlfriend Su Xiao's birthday, and Li Xiangming had made an appointment last week to go to the movies with her after get off work on Friday.But the incident happened suddenly, so I had to release my girlfriend's pigeons.

The door knocked three times and was opened from the inside.

It seemed to be a young boy who opened the door. He was wearing a white shirt that did not match his thin figure, and a pair of gray home pants underneath. His hair on one side was slightly raised, as if he had just woken up.

"Excuse me, is the time back?"

When he opened the door, Li Xiangming wondered for a moment if he had made a mistake. The owner's profile stated that Shi Hui, male, 29 years old, unemployed, but the boy who opened the door looked to be 19 years old at most.

The person who opened the door glanced at Li Xiangming expressionlessly, then lowered his head and said: I am, please come in.

It was a room with one bedroom and one living room. It was not big but very messy. There were a lot of sundries piled on the bed. The boxes of instant noodles that had been eaten were thrown on the floor. There were many books in the corner, and a copy of "Discipline and Punishment" was on it , Through the corners, there seems to be a copy of "Criminal Psychology". There are a lot of ropes beside the book, and there are two rolls of unused plastic wrap. Half of the fruit in the middle of the fruit basket on the ground is rotten.

Shi Hui didn't ask them to sit down, he looked around and then set his eyes on the two of them.

"We have a brief understanding of the situation and hope you can cooperate with our investigation."

He didn't speak for a while, and after a long while, he seemed to be unaccustomed to the quietness of the air and nodded.

They asked some questions, mostly answered by nodding and shaking their heads, and when they pressed on, the man shook his head and said, sorry.

Shi Hui acted strangely in Li Xiangming's eyes. He once listed Shi Hui as the first suspect.When he returned home, his home was messy, and he had contact with the victim once before the case happened. He had some tools that could commit crimes in his home.But Shi Hui provided an alibi. He watched a night movie in Xinjie that day and didn't come back for the whole night.

Shi Hui left a deep impression on Li Xiangming, not only because Shi Hui pretended to be deaf and indifferent at the beginning, but also because he was too calm during the whole interrogation process. This calmness even carried a kind of laziness and Disdain.

"Her boyfriend," Shi Hui said, "has no reason."

Li Xiangming tried to ask, but Shi Hui picked up the garbage bag and was about to go out, "It's getting late, I have to go out, Mr. Police, if there is anything else..."

Li Xiangming stopped Xiao Wang who wanted to continue talking, "Excuse me."

Then go back downstairs at any time.Shi Hui walked in front with a garbage bag. He was tall and thin, his back was slightly hunched when he walked, and his left foot was slightly turned outward when walking. It was hard to spot without looking carefully.

Li Xiangming looked at the garbage bag in Shihui's hand in surprise, "So you did the cleaning."

"Weird?"

"Your room doesn't look like it." Li Xiangming couldn't help but say it.

"So," Shi Hui glanced at the two police officers, "I'm sorry."

Time to throw away the garbage and say goodbye.Li Xiangming looked at his back and slowly frowned.

"Did you say it could be him?" Police Flower Xiao Wang chased after Li Xiangming and asked. "If so, we just let him go?"

"He won't go."

"what?"

After Li Xiangming got in the car, he saw three missed calls from his girlfriend, sure enough.Li Xiangming shook his head and smiled, "What's for dinner?" He glanced at Xiao Wang next to him and quickly replied on WeChat, "Have you eaten at the newly opened one next to the police station?"

"This... Why did the topic change so quickly? What's the matter if you haven't eaten?"

"Then let's go to this one. Call Zhang Cheng over and say I'm treating you."
