my suspect

36. Turn on cat and mouse mode

Along the way, neither of them talked, Lin Ze closed his eyes and rested until the car stopped.

"Where is this?" Lin Ze touched the seat belt with his hand, but did not unbuckle it. The sound and smell coming from the half-opened car window were all unfamiliar places to him.

"Temporary safe house." Gu Jun twitched the corner of his mouth, "It was just decided for your safety."

Lin Ze's hand holding the seat belt froze, "Who decided? Why?"

Gu Jun turned his head to look at Lin Ze, who was looking straight ahead, and was silent for a few seconds. He didn't speak until he saw a little annoyance on the face of the person under observation, and then slowly said: "I decided, because you may be in danger."

"Oh, Police Officer Gu, you don't have the power." Lin Ze turned his head, Gu Jun couldn't help frowning slightly with his dark and cold eyes, he almost wanted to reach out to test whether these eyes were acting? "I disagree."

"I know you won't agree, and I didn't intend to ask for your permission." Gu Jun reached out and unbuttoned Lin Ze's seat belt. The buckle made a sound like a mechanism knocked on a certain nerve of Lin Ze. He waved his fist in Gu Jun's direction.

Gu Jun raised his shoulders and let Lin Ze's fist land on his arm. Lin Ze who swung the fist probably didn't expect that he could really hit someone, and the feeling of the fist hitting the flesh made him stunned .

"The news that you may have met a murderer cannot be completely blocked. As a witness, the police are responsible for protecting it. It has nothing to do with who you are." Gu Jun quietly moved his shoulders, regardless of Lin Zeshou, But the hand is really strong, "Besides, your situation is special than ordinary people. I hope you don't have to think too much. After the murderer is arrested, your life will return to normal."

"Normal?" Lin Ze snorted noncommittally, and the anger on his face gradually subsided, "Is Officer Gu always so domineering and unreasonable? Why should I trust your so-called protection?"

He didn't hear the response from the people around him, Lin Ze tilted his head habitually, made a 'ding' sound, and then there was a faint smell of kerosene, which was a lighter, but after waiting for a while, he didn't smell the smoke, but heard At the second sound of lighting a lighter.

The third...the fourth...

Lin Ze's fingers on his legs curled up slightly, and his body subconsciously leaned against the back of the chair.

"What are you afraid of? Is it me or the sound of the lighter?" Gu Jun pressed his right thumb firmly on the switch of the lighter, "Do you need me to believe in you Lin Ze or the story you Lin Ze told?"

"What do you mean?" Lin Ze squeezed the hand beside him secretly, and he suddenly regretted it.

"The sound is not dangerous, but the possibility behind the sound is lethal. This is the same as what you said. It may be simple or complicated. Do you think I will choose to believe in simplicity or complexity?" Gu Jun blew the lighter in his hand again, But it was quickly covered, but the short sound in the carriage was like a scraper across the almost stagnant air between the two, tearing open a tiny gap.

Lin Ze chuckled suddenly, and loosened the clenched hands by his side, and turned slightly to face Gu Jun again, "Officer Gu, you are very interesting."

Gu Jun didn't respond to Lin Ze's scrutiny, but looked out the car window at the quiet neighborhood in the afternoon, flicked his fingers on the steering wheel, "I don't want to be funny at all, but I was just warned yesterday not to do it You idiot, I can't help it."

"Really? Then this person must be more interesting than Officer Gu."

"Well, probably." Gu Jun laughed at himself, looked back at Lin Ze who was facing him, touched the tip of his nose, and asked, "What's the number?"

"About five o'clock in the afternoon on the 20th, when I was about to go home from work, I was about 24 meters away from Shu Ning Hall, near the [-]-hour convenience store. He should have just come out of the store, still smoking, Maybe he went to the store to buy cigarettes, at that time he was standing on the blind sidewalk talking to someone on the phone, I stopped, but he didn't move, so I had to go around."

"Why only now?"

"I really remembered it today," Lin Ze smiled apologetically. "After all, I'm not used to memorizing details, let alone record them. Over time, my memory will become blurred."

During the few minutes when Gu Jun finished calling Yi Meier, Lin Ze sat quietly and turned his face towards the bright light. Gu Jun was observing Lin Ze while talking on the phone. When reaching out to paste the glass, Gu Jun's call paused for two seconds.

Lin Ze slowly withdrew his hand, and sat there quietly again until Gu Jun hung up the phone.

"Officer Gu, may I ask, how will you arrange for me next?"

"Before the murderer was caught, you lived with me temporarily."

"With you?" Lin Ze seemed taken aback, "You also live in the safe house?"

Gu Jun sighed, looked at Lin Ze and explained: "Lin Ze, your situation is special, and it is not yet possible to protect you as a witness through procedures, but in fact you may be in danger, and I can't help it. Shirk the responsibility, although I still haven't checked out some things, but I can't let you go outside, so I am responsible for your safety these few days, I have arranged for you at Shu Ning Tang, as for your I also found a suitable reason for the landlord, I hope to catch the murderer as soon as possible, I am sorry, I hope you can cooperate and understand."

"That means 'safe house' is not what I understand as 'safe house'?"

"Yes, this is a real estate invested by my acquaintance. It has been vacant. I borrow it temporarily. No one knows about it."

"Including your colleagues and friends?"

"It should be." Gu Jun's answer made Lin Ze frowned slightly.

"should be?"

"If no one deliberately investigates me, no one here should know that it is related to me."

"Officer Gu, the way you do things is really surprising."

Gu Jun looked thoughtfully at Lin Ze who seemed to have completely relaxed and had to accept this arrangement, "Perhaps this accident is what you want too?"
