"Practice...Assessment..." Hua Chong slowly repeated the two key words in Liu Zhiqin's dialect, the index finger of his right hand curled up and gently touched his lower lip.

"Of course, the premise of my guess is to confirm that Yin Ziqiao has something to do with today's case." Liu Zhiqin said: "But now that there is a special case team, we are excluded again. Teacher Xu has no access to the victim's body. way to make an accurate comparison of wounds."

"Let's go back today, it's very late." Hua Chong glanced at the time and acted as the terminator.

"I'll drive." Liu Zhiqin said.

"I'll open it, your hands are not done yet."

"It's been fine for a long time." Liu Zhiqin moved his fingers.

Hua Chong still wanted to insist, Liu Zhiqin said: "Don't be stubborn, you can rest in the passenger seat for a while."

"Okay." Hua Chong didn't bother to argue over such trivial matters, and walked downstairs while arranging his coat.

The temperature dropped a few degrees at night, and the cold wind blew on the face, blowing the dead leaves to the ground, and the pedestrians couldn't open their eyes.Liu Zhiqin turned on the heater as soon as he got in the car, and Hua Chong stared at the row of police cars in front of the building in a daze.

Because of this extremely bad case, the city's security alert level has been raised, and almost all police forces in various sub-bureaus and police stations have been mobilized, and the special police detachment is even more busy.

The one with the most leisure time has become the serious crime team that should be at the scene of the crime the most.

Hua Chong was a little helpless, and understood Chen Zheng's mood, and said, "Let's take the road of Wutong Community, I want to go and see again."

The Wutong community in the dark night is almost surrounded by flashing police lights, but the road outside is unimpeded.Hua Chong didn't even get out of the car, and didn't even put down the window. He looked at the towering buildings through the glass, and almost said to himself, "Why did they choose this place?"

"Their target is the elderly who do not live with their children. There are already many elderly in this area." Liu Zhiqin said: "As for why it is Wutong Community instead of other nearby communities, maybe it is just because they were selected. ’ Yes. Yin Ziqiao is the same, he was the one who was 'chosen' by the murderer."

Hua Chong looked away, "I estimate that for a long time to come, there will be no square dancing in the riverside leisure area, and the number of people exercising normally may even decrease."

The car had already driven to the bridge, Liu Zhiqin said: "I took the time to scan the voices on the Internet."

"How to say?"

"'Square dance' has become a hot word. Many people say that those old people were killed because they danced in the square dance to disturb the people. The property management and the young residents nearby have negotiated with them many times, but nothing worked. Instead, some people were killed. The old dancers 'touch porcelain' and compensated a lot of money. The young people couldn't bear it, so..."

"Bullshit."

"We know that it is impossible for the eleven elderly people to be killed because of square dancing, but the masses don't think so. Some people have always had a rich imagination. Others have always been used to hearing what they believe." Liu Zhiqin said : "Besides, square dancing is indeed a big problem. There have been too many disputes caused by square dancing in recent years. People who live in the north don't know that the Binhe leisure area is the 'hardest hit area' of square dancing, and there are many residents around who don't dance square dancing. I have been affected more or less. I heard in the Wutong community in the morning that many young people have argued with the old dancers. They were either scolded or persuaded to leave by the property management. A property management said that they dare not go now. If you control people who dance in the square, you will cause trouble for yourself."

Hua Chong propped his temples, "Is there someone on the Internet who said 'love to hear and see'?"

"Basically. But more people still expressed shock and anger. A small number of people said that the victim deserved to be killed for relying on the old and disrespecting the old." Liu Zhiqin said: "The victim named Liu Xinyu, photos and videos It's posted all over the place."

"What video?"

"What else can there be? It's all videos of her arguing with people and grabbing people's territory. It is true that there is something... more fierce. In fact, except for her and her sister, the other nine victims have nothing to do with "disturbing the people". Dance once, and some have never danced in the square. Just like Tang Qiuhai, he practiced boxing alone, and no one disturbed him. Now when the video of Liu Xinyu swearing at others comes out, everyone even scolds Tang Qiuhai and other old people together."

Hua Chong closed his eyes for a while, "I have found a reason to vent my dissatisfaction with square dancing. After all, square dancing has become a chronic disease in the city. But people who talk about 'happy to hear and see' and 'remove harm for the people' People have no respect for life at all.”

"In this world, there are quite a few people who have no respect for life, and even hate life." Liu Zhiqin's voice suddenly turned cold, "Otherwise, how could there be so many terrorist-related attacks targeting other people's lives. Otherwise..."

"Brother Xiaoliu." Hua Chong realized the change in his mood, and said in time: "Look at the road."

Liu Zhiqin sighed, "Sorry, I missed my brother."

"I know." Hua Chong's voice was slightly lowered, "I have a feeling that if this case is solved, maybe what happened back then will come to light."

Overnight, more than half of the square dance teams in Los Angeles disappeared. The grandpas and aunts who used to dance in the community disappeared, and even the speakers were hidden. It is much lower, and the number of people in the dance team is not as good as before. In the past, several dance teams competed for territory on a flat ground, and if they arrived late, they had to wait for the next round. The number of dancers.

"Liu Xinyu" has become a household name, and almost everyone who dances in the square talks about her. Some people feel sorry for her, and some take her as a negative example. killed.

But there are also people who don't care about it, and 65-year-old Liang Ping is one of them.

Rumors that "eleven elderly people were killed because of square dancing" spread wildly in Los Angeles. Liang Ping carried a speaker on the same day, and as usual asked the children to dance on the public empty dam near her home. There were very few people, so she didn't care. Turn on the amp and start dancing.At the end of the dance, everyone else walked away worried because of the eyes around her. Only she continued to dance as if no one else was there. After she finished, she hummed a song and pointed at a young girl and scolded: "What are you looking at? This land is your home." Is it right? Old lady, am I in your way?"

The crowd of onlookers immediately dispersed to make a way for her.

She tidied up, how she came and how she left, without any fear, but waited for her dance partner to remind her with a frown: "Sister Ping, what are you doing? It's not like you don't know what happened in Wutong District! Those who died The person who fell was targeted because of trouble. Why, do you want to be targeted too?"

Liang Ping said disdainfully: "It's all rumors. The police have refuted the rumors long ago. Do you still believe it? I'm just dancing. Who's in the way? It's said that our speakers are too loud, but how loud can the speakers be? It's so loud. Is it the sound of sand boats crossing the river and the sound of laying foundations and building a house next door? I don’t believe it, if I dance honestly, I will get stabbed in the back!”

The dance partner couldn't help it, so she had to keep persuading: "Speaking a few words will suffocate you? You can dance if you want, turn down the volume, and no one will trouble you. It's your mouth, you have to change it. Change. Why are you arguing with the people who are watching the excitement? Which of these young people doesn’t have a mobile phone, what should they do if they take a picture of you and post it on the Internet? Look at my circle of friends, well, it’s all about that video of Liu Xinyu swearing, Do you want to do the same?"

"I don't care!" Liang Ping pushed away her partner's mobile phone, "Don't show me this!"

"You don't care, but your son and daughter-in-law don't? Don't your family members care?" The dance partner said earnestly, "Sister Ping, you should listen to my advice, don't always fight against young people. What good is it to fight against young people? We Can you beat them? And your son and daughter-in-law already..."

The wrinkles on Liang Ping's face tightened, and she stood where she was.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, I won't say it. Don't show me your face, I care about you so much." The partner had already compromised, but after thinking about it, I still have to say: "But you have to be measured, we People in their 60s, living a good life is better than anything else.”

"I want to live a good life, but have they let me live a good life?" Liang Ping's eyes suddenly turned red, and her voice choked up, "When I was at home, who gave me a good look? I hate this, and I hate that. They say they are relatives, and the blood of the whole family flows in their veins, but do they still treat me as a human being? I, I..."

"Don't, don't, don't get excited, there are so many people here, really." The partner was anxious, and quickly took the speaker and bag from Liang Ping's hand, and pulled her aside, "Forget it, sister Ping, I know you feel uncomfortable , but haven’t you been here for so many years?”

Liang Ping didn't let her tears fall, "It's boring to think about it all my life. Do you know why I have to come out to dance every day?"

"I know, I know, how can I not know you?" The partner said, "It's hard for you to stay at home."

"Yeah, only when I come out to dance, I feel that this day is still meaningful." Liang Ping sighed, "If someday there is a policy that prohibits dancing in public places, I'm afraid I will live too. Don't go down."

"What are you talking about! Don't say such unlucky words! You have survived for more than 60 years, why can't you survive?" I’ve made it through, and life is better now than before, Sister Ping, just bear with it.”

Liang Ping didn't know whether she heard it or not, and the expression on her face became more and more distorted.

Behind her, there was a burst of laughter.

She immediately turned around and saw that many people were walking in the place where the dance was performed just now. An old man in a wheelchair was wearing a very thick padded jacket and a hat that looked very warm, surrounded by people Four men and women.

It looked like a family.

"Don't look, they are not laughing at you." The dance partner pulled Liang Ping's clothes and urged: "People are joking, it's none of our business."

"That family is really happy." Liang Ping said, "That old man is also happy."

"What is happiness? That's paralysis, I can't take care of myself, I can only lie down and sit, and it hurts my family."

"But doesn't he have family members who are willing to make him suffer? They chat very happily." Liang Ping said with emotion: "If I am paralyzed someday..."

"Bah! You can't say anything good with your mouth? Why are you paralyzed? You are in good health, and no one is paralyzed." The partner said, "There must be no one who dares to continue dancing in the square these days. , when spring comes next year, we are going to start a dance team, and I support you as the lead dancer!"

Liang Ping finally showed a smile, although the smile looked a bit bitter, "I was originally the lead dancer."

People came and went on Kongba, Liang Ping heard laughter, but did not hear sighs.Just as the figures of her and her dance partner merged into the night, the middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair said: "Dad is in this situation now, and he needs someone to accompany him 24 hours a day. I really can't take care of it."

The woman standing next to him said: "I can't do anything about it. Didn't we all agree before..."

"Can it be the same as before?"

"I think it's better to send it to the elderly center earlier."

"But if you send that place in, you can't get out."

"Is there anything else we can do?"

After a while of silence, the middle-aged man said: "Let's delay it for a while, Dad's birthday is on the weekend, and our family has a good get-together."

"Where are you meeting? Your home?"

"Let's book a private room in the hotel. It's not convenient at home. I know a newly opened hotel called Zuixiang Restaurant. The price is relatively cheap and the taste is good."

??

Standing on a tall building overlooking Kongba below, whether it is a square dancer or a walker, they all become ants that can be trampled to death with one foot.Lian Feng was expressionless, and the figures of the "ants" fell into his eyes, as if they were lifeless things.

Someone once said that we should have respect for life, but there are so many lives in the world, if we respect all of them, how can we be respected?

Ants deserve to die, and people like ants, even if they live, are still alive.

The corner of his lips twitched slightly, and he heard footsteps behind him.

You don't need to look back, and you know who the other party is.

The shadow of the visitor was reflected on the floor-to-ceiling glass, illuminated by the neon lights outside, but his face happened to be in the shadow.

"How is it?" Lian Feng asked.

"Chen Zheng is investigating the ghost, and the criminal investigation team is panicking." That human said.

Lian Feng joked, "The inner ghost talks about the inner ghost."

The man smiled, "Then what do you want me to say?"

"What about him? What is he doing?" Lian Feng didn't reply and changed the question.

"Which him?"

"Hua Chong, and that Liu..."

"From Liu to Qin."

Lian Feng nodded, "Well, have they done anything in the past two days?"

"I'm going to say no, do you believe it?"

"So there is?"

The man sighed. "Frankly, I don't know. They don't look like they checked anything, but I can't believe they didn't."

"Keep an eye on it." Lian Feng said, "Hua Chong..."

"Ok?"

"Forget it." Lian Feng walked towards the door without any emotion in his eyes, "Hide yourself well, don't expose yourself."

On weekends, the newly opened Zuixiang Restaurant was overcrowded. It received three wedding banquets at the same time. There were also guests celebrating birthdays and small gatherings in each box. The waiters were completely overwhelmed, and there were frequent incidents of delivering food to the wrong table, making the wedding banquet a mess.

It was close to two o'clock in the afternoon, and the banquet was basically over, and the waiters finally breathed a sigh of relief, planning to take a lazy nap after cleaning.

However, at this moment, several screams came from a box, and soon the screams turned into cries.

"Dad! Dad! What's the matter with you?"

A waiter who rushed to check what happened stumbled out of the box and shouted in fear: "Dead, dead!"
