Please don't stick to Officer Qi [criminal investigation]

At night, Qingcheng.

City lights moored in the calm moonlight.

After leaving the police station, Qi Lin and Shi Le walked side by side on the empty street.Today is a working day, and it is getting late, and there is no one to see on the street, only the workers who are rushing to go to the night shift and the workers who have just finished the night shift are leisurely on both sides of the street.

"It's been a long time since I walked on the street like this." Shi Le sighed while walking, "I used to stay at home at night, and occasionally you drove me home when I was on duty. It's rare to go out for a walk at night. The scenery is better than I imagined. It's much better."

He pointed to the neon colored clouds on the horizon, "Do you think that cloud looks like a person's face?"

Qi Lin looked along Shi Le's fingertips, but no matter how he looked, he couldn't tell it was a human face.

He couldn't help admiring Shile's imagination.

"I can't see it, give me some hints?"

"Look, the top one is the top of the hair, the protruding one on the left is the nose, and the one recessed is the mouth." Shi Le made gestures and suddenly laughed, "It's very similar to you."

Following Shi Le's thoughts, Qi Lin tilted his head to look at the cloud, but couldn't imagine the shape Shi Le said.

"Yeah, it's very similar." Although I didn't see it, I must have support.

"I just said it looks like it, but you couldn't tell it at first glance." Shi Le giggled, and walked forward a few steps quickly with her hands in her trouser pockets.

The night in Qingcheng was very cold, and the wind in the distance brought a piece of advertising paper from a distance. After rolling twice in front of Qi Lin, it floated to the distance again.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a convenience store on the side.Qi Lin stopped and handed the suitcase to Shi Le.

"It seems that there is no water in your place. I'll buy some for you, and some snacks by the way. You can eat when you're hungry—what do you want? Chocolate?"

"It's all right, just look at it and buy it." Shi Le took the suitcase and stood still on the sidewalk, like a primary school student who was forced to stand in front of the house with his luggage.

Qi Lin nodded, guessing that Shi Le should like to eat sweets, so he bought several packs of marshmallows for him.

In fact, Qi Lin doesn't like to eat cotton candy, but judging from the packaging, it always feels that the cotton candy is white and soft, just like Shile.

You should like it.Qi Lin took the marshmallows, took a few bottles of water and some biscuits, and lined up in front of the cash register.

Strange to say, there are no people on the street outside, but there are enough people in the convenience store, and there is a long line in front of the cashier.

In front of Qi Lin was a tall man.He was wearing a black leather jacket, as if he knew in advance that the temperature would be cooler tonight.He wore a wireless headset in one ear and stared straight ahead.

Having nothing to do, Qi Lin tilted his head slightly, looked past the man, and found that he was looking at the girl in front of him.

Girls are really cute.Wearing a sailor suit and ponytail, it's the style of the sister next door.

After she finished shopping, she walked out of the store carrying a plastic bag, but the tall man's eyes still stayed on her.

"Sir, check out here!" The cashier yelled before turning the tall man's attention back.

The tall man handed the bottle of mineral water to the cashier.The cashier scanned the bottle, but the machine didn't respond.

"Excuse me sir, the barcode on this bottle of water is a bit dirty, can I trouble you to change it?"

The tall man tilted his head and glanced in the direction where the girl disappeared, frowned, then turned around, quickly took a bottle of water of the same brand and threw it on the cash register.

"I'm sorry, two dollars, sir."

The man fumbled in his pocket, pulled out a crumpled five, and handed it to the cashier.

"Cash?" The cashier was a little surprised, but he quickly opened the cash register, "Excuse me sir, I don't have enough change here, can I pay by mobile phone?"

"No." The tall man finally spoke.His voice was hoarse.

"Then please wait a moment." The cashier nodded to the tall man, and then asked Qi Lin, "Hi sir, do you have any change?"

Qi Lin shook his head.

The tall man was obviously in a hurry.He focused his gaze on the alley opposite, then grabbed the water bottle, said that he didn't need to look for it, and ran out of the convenience store.

"Sir! Sir!" The cashier yelled, waving five yuan, but the tall one didn't stop the tall one from leaving, so he gave up and muttered while helping Qi Lin pay the bill, "What a weirdo."

"Maybe there is something urgent." Qi Lin settled the bill and went out with a plastic bag.

At the door, Shi Le was shivering from the night wind.

"Is it cold?" Qi Lin touched Shi Le's hand, it was really cold.

But he didn't wear a coat or bring a coat, so Qi Lin hooked Shi Le's shoulders and held him in his arms.

"Is it still cold?" Qi Lin asked.

"So many people are watching here, how embarrassing." Shi Le gently pushed Qi Lin.

"Where is anyone? Look for yourself and see if there is no one around." When Shi Leyue said this, Qi Lin hugged him tighter.Not to mention, I have to lean over and take the opportunity to kiss Shi Le on the cheek.

……

At the same time, in an alley two streets away.

A girl is walking in an alley with a bag on her back.The lights in the alley were dim, and the dim electric lights at the street corner stretched out her shadow.

Yellow can give people a feeling of uneasiness.I don't know if it's because of the lights, but she always feels a little nervous in her heart, as if someone is following her behind her.But every time I turned around, there was no one behind.

Is it hallucination?She continued to walk forward, her steps speeding up a lot.

No, not hallucinations.She heard footsteps, just behind, she heard them very clearly, they were small footsteps, as if they were hiding or chasing.As soon as her footsteps were quick, the man's footsteps also quickened.

was followed.There was only one thought in her mind.She wanted to go back to confirm again, but she didn't dare to go back, fearing that the premonition in her heart would become a reality.She can only go faster so that the people behind her can't catch up with her.

Finally, at a fork in the road, she started running.The people behind also started to run, and the two walked through the alleys of the old city, and finally got lost at the end of the alley.

It was a dead end, blocked at the end by turning heads.The light reflected the girl's body on the wall, making her look so thin.

She turned her head slowly, and saw the face of the man chasing her.

It was a big tall man, wearing a windbreaker, leather gloves, and a lady's purse in his pocket, which looked like this girl's.

"Don't come here!" the girl yelled.

But the tall man had no intention of stopping at all.He stretched out his big hand and came towards the girl.

The crows in the bushes were disturbed and flew towards the sky.A lost crow fell along the moonlight and landed at the end of the alley. When it turned over, its feather fan was covered with bright red blood.
