today's island

The winter night in the island city is below zero for a long time. Although people fall from a high altitude, even if someone nearby hears the faint movement, they will not come out to confirm it.

The relationship between them cannot be exposed, and the body cannot be taken away, so Cheng Song can only bury Qi Qiuyu on the spot.

He is a student of architecture, and he knows that there is a certain spare height in the elevator shaft. Even if someone notices that the spare height is a little less, he doesn't bother to dig it out to have a look.

He used concrete to seal the bottom of the elevator shaft, and brushed away the blood stains on the walls of the shaft. Thinking about it, it wasn't safe enough, and he randomly applied cement a few times on a certain floor to confuse the public.

The smell of blood still lingered in his heart, and only the howling north wind could comfort him.He didn't even feel cold anymore. He stayed until four o'clock in the morning, and finally left. After dawn, he came to visit again, pretending to care about the project.

The north wind blew away the remaining bloody smell, and no one noticed it when the construction started the day after tomorrow. Only Gong Youwei really thought that the problem was upstairs, and there was a little episode.

After he finished telling the story, he took a deep breath, looked at Tang Wen and Lu Yuanzhe, and waited for their questions.

"Suicide?" Tang Wen frowned.

"Yes." Cheng Song nodded affirmatively, not feeling guilty about this question, "Not only did I not push her, but I didn't even touch her. She is not a fool, how can I make calculations?"

Tang Wen frowned and glanced at Lu Yuanzhe.Lu Yuanzhe also had a hard time believing this statement, and wanted to wait until the autopsy was over before drawing a conclusion.

"I still have evidence." Cheng Song took out the recording pen from his pocket, put it on the table and opened it.

The dialogue from 13 years ago started from the place where Cheng Song chased Qi Qiuyu on the [-]th floor.

"Because of the distance, her voice is not very clear. I amplified it, and there is an unprocessed original version in the back. You can process it yourself, and you will know that I have not edited it." Cheng Song introduced, letting the dialogue play.

This was the first time they heard Qi Qiuyu's gentle and playful voice, which indeed belonged to a charming young woman.

Cheng Song is the recording party, so of course he knows how to say it is beneficial to him, but they listened to Qi Qiuyu's meaning in this conversation and agreed with Cheng Song's original intention - to take her back.

"After you catch her, you will still kill her, use other methods. Qi Qiuyu is right, it is better to let her disappear. Her son is a murderer of the devil himself, and he will not report the case." Lu Yuanzhe looked at Cheng Song, correcting his wording, "You're still killing people. If you don't force her, she won't jump off the building."

"Conviction requires motivation, and I didn't intend to kill her." Cheng Song looked at him without any panic, "You can't speculate on my psychology. In terms of my behavior that day, I have no intention to kill. How much money does she have? I don't know the details of what happened, and I don't know how many false stories she has secretly compiled about me, so I can't kill her."

"But you are really exonerating yourself by doing something to her." Lu Yuanzhe retorted.

"Yes, I'm scared, and I want to get rid of her." Cheng Song admitted, quite calmly, "The method may be a little more drastic, but it didn't kill people. I didn't expect her to jump off the building, otherwise I wouldn't do it , why should I leave myself a hidden danger for 13 years?"

Lu Yuanzhe couldn't refute for a moment and didn't answer.

Tang Wen had been listening, and only then did he speak: "You surrendered yourself, right?"

"Yes." Cheng Song nodded, "Let me confess my mistake."

"Is there no other collusion with Yan?" Tang Wen asked.

"No, I made it very clear. I know that she is the mastermind of the banquet, and I know that she is showing favor to me, but I didn't instruct her to kill for me." Cheng Song replied,

"But you pretended to be ignorant, pretending to be ignorant, and tacitly allowed her to wipe out your political enemies. If you had revealed her from the beginning of your acquaintance, you might not have to kill so many people." Lu Yuanzhe retorted.

"She was clearing away political enemies for herself. Those people were harmful to Yan at that time, but I didn't. Isn't it normal for her to do something to those people?" Cheng Song asked rhetorically.

"That's because you used your anti-undercover plan to show your favor to her, and you are friends with her, so she did it. It's your problem." Lu Yuanzhe glared at him.

"This is a word game. At that time, I was collecting evidence of Yan and helping the Public Security Bureau to find out the scale of her organization other than drug trafficking. This matter has not been pursued more than ten years ago. If you have to calculate it carefully, there will be many people involved. .” Cheng Song said, looking at Tang Wen.

Back then, the gray transactions inside were no longer pursued, and it is impossible to reverse the case now.

"If there's only one case that hasn't been reported, why are you turning yourself in now?" Tang Wen asked suspiciously, "She said she swallowed your hair, and she probably lied to you."

"You are not the only ones who can tell the truth. I have talked with her many times. The most terrifying thing is that most of the things she said are true. You can hear her tone, right." Cheng Song replied road.

"The young master seems to have known for a long time that you killed Qi Qiuyu, why didn't he take you away?" Tang Wen asked again.

"He also found out after the investigation, his mother didn't tell him who I am." After Cheng Song answered, he paused and smiled modestly, "It's ashamed to say that he himself is not afraid of death and doesn't take human life seriously , I was really bluffed, I told him, if he directly touches me, I guarantee that he will never find his mother in his life, he believed it."

Lu Yuanzhe could read his pride from this smile. This pride came from beating Qi Qiuyu back then and now the young master.

"So the body came as soon as it found you, because he could kill you, right?" he blurted out.

"Yes." Cheng Song admitted generously, "I want to apply for protection from the police. I am not guilty of death, and I am an important witness. I won't let me die at the hands of an antisocial pervert, right?"

This is the reason why this old fox voluntarily surrendered, to surrender himself, and then seek police asylum.

Tang Wen thought for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief: "Let's talk about the rest after the autopsy and on-site inspection reports."

The information is not equal, and it is not good for the police to talk about it. Cheng Song acted preemptively, calling all the records Qi Qiuyu left on him as "compilations", and the police could not refute them.

"Okay." Cheng Song responded quickly, as if he was not afraid of their investigation.

Tang Wen stood up and motioned Lu Yuanzhe to send him the transcript of the conversation.This is not a trivial matter, and it is no longer something that the task force or even the Public Security Bureau can conclude.

Lu Yuanzhe packed his computer, stood up after Tang Wen, and before going out, he looked at Cheng Song seriously and asked, "You should be clear, no matter how you are sentenced in this case, just what you said today, your political career is over."

"I know." Cheng Song answered him calmly, shrugging his shoulders disdainfully, "That can't be helped, I'm different from Qi Qiuyu and his son, I'm afraid of death, people don't have to play politics, they have to live. "

This is probably what he didn't account for in Qi Qiuyu, and it's also the young master's miscalculation of him.Those who are fatal and those who are not, both miscalculate each other.

Lu Yuanzhe didn't speak, and went out with his computer in his arms. There was a row of serious-looking teammates outside, without Cheng Mo.

It's a matter of course that there is no Cheng Mo. After this case is investigated, he will basically quit, and he shouldn't even sit in the office.

But it's fine if he's not in the special case team. Cheng Mo seems to have long been out of the police station, which makes him a little worried.

It's nothing to do with him now, so he put down the computer and called Cheng Mo.

Cheng Song came so suddenly that he didn't even have a chance to say a few words to Cheng Mo.

·

Cheng Mo's stepmother's name is very ladylike, her name is Wen Jing, but she is indeed not a quiet person.

She and Cheng Song are what everyone calls a "political marriage", but she thinks Cheng Song is a man worthy of women's liking—calm, restrained, ambitious, with decent facial features and a tall and straight figure.

The more she saw the big men her sisters married, the more she felt that she was not too bad.

She originally thought that the only thorn in her side was this Cheng Mo who looked like her own mother, but she didn't expect that there was another one, and after going around, it was this Cheng Mo who found it.

Cheng Mo is still the obedient person at home, not obedient, nor showing the slightest bit of dissatisfaction, hiding when something happens, pretending that he doesn't know.

Even though she lost her composure frequently and was on the verge of collapse, almost crying in the coffee shop, Cheng Mo still told him what happened in a low voice, and only pushed the tissue forward a little.

She didn't know whether Cheng Mo lacked empathy or simply hated her.

"Probably so." Cheng Mo finally finished speaking, but she didn't really listen to it.It's okay to let her pretend to be the mayor's wife, but using her brain is really not her strong point.

"So, what is your task force going to do with your dad?" she asked, taking another tissue.

"We are only responsible for the investigation, not the judgment." Cheng Mo replied without looking at her.

"Nonsense." While sobbing, she replied arrogantly, "I'm asking what is the result of the investigation now?"

"I don't know. The autopsy is still underway. After my father came, I was invited out, and I won't participate in the subsequent investigation." Cheng Mo replied honestly and calmly.

Whether Cheng Mo hates her or not, she really hates Cheng Mo, a little bastard whose feelings are closed in her heart. She has a sense of alienation that can never be cultivated. No matter how strong her ability is, she can only deal with emotional problems. It will be solved by evasion.

Even escaping to the extreme, you can use death to avoid mental problems.She is a straight person, and there are no cowards in her family, so she can't stand such a meek character.

"You only have this invulnerable virtue?" She finally couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and knocked on the table hard, "I won't play charades with you. Like your mother, I am not satisfied with your personality, but our family does not want you, your father is a person who likes business, but you should love him, why take the initiative to expose him?!"

Cheng Mo even dared to say that he discovered the shaft, just like he confessed that he proposed to go to the service area back then.She doesn't know whether she can't tell a lie or has a mental problem.

Cheng Mo didn't look up, nor did he speak.

"Will you protect your dad?" she asked.

Cheng Mo still didn't answer him right away, and it took him a while to say: "I don't have the ability..."

"Anyway, you don't care much about me. Let me just say it, you are a disaster star. If you were not in our house back then, it is not your turn to investigate this matter now." She left this sentence and stood up and left. He dialed Cheng Li's phone without any hassle.

Leaving Cheng Mo to sit blankly for a while, he also left the coffee shop and walked a long way before remembering to take a taxi.

It was a long time before Lu Yuanzhe called him, and the resignation letter in his hand was basically finished.

He adjusted his mood before pressing the connect button. The connection was a bit slow, and Lu Yuanzhe felt relieved when he heard the connection.

"Hello? Cheng Mo, where are you? Shall we go back together and have a rest, we have to wait for a long time for various investigation reports." Lu Yuanzhe suppressed his worries as much as possible, but he could still hear it.

"I've already gone home, are you still coming back?" He asked Lu Yuanzhe.

Lu Yuanzhe paused for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then asked, "Our family?"

"Yeah." He was sitting in the bedroom.

"I'll be back, wait for me for a while, I have something to tell you." Lu Yuanzhe replied.

"Yeah." He replied and hung up the phone.
