love story

Leng Yu and Huang Lin arrived in country M on a private jet of the police force.It took nearly six hours to fly from Yang City to Country M, and it was around eleven o'clock in the morning when we arrived.

They were welcomed by the Royal Police Force of Country M, and they all came to City K, the capital of Country M.

Since Country M is a tropical country, Leng Yu and the others are dressed in light clothes, making it easier to move about.

City K is very lively, with high-rise buildings everywhere, and the streets are full of vehicles, causing some traffic jams.Due to the hot weather, Leng Yu was sweating profusely, but the icy breath that came with her made the K city police officers afraid to strike up a conversation with her.

Country M belongs to a Southeast Asian country, and most of the people in that country can't speak Chinese, so Leng Yu used English throughout the conversation with them.

Only when the police officers of country M communicate in private, do they return to their own language.

Not long after, they were taken to the headquarters of the M National Police Department and met with Officer Hezimi who was in charge of the disappearance case.After exchanging a few pleasantries, everyone immediately got to the point.

"Officer He, I think you have heard about Xu Linglong's disappearance. His body was found in our country and had been burned to a charred corpse. When we found him, he died about two to three weeks ago. "Leng Yu said.

Then, Huang Lin took out the photos taken at the scene from her bag, pushed them in front of him, and said, "This is the photo we took. 95% of my body has been burned by the fire."

Hezimi looked at the photos carefully, frowned and said, "It's all burned like this, and the fundamental features are completely invisible."

Leng Yu interjected: "Yes, it took us some time to check the identity of the deceased, that is Mr. Xu Linglong who was exploded and disappeared before Christmas."

He Zimi nodded and said: "Well, when we received the news that Xu Linglong disappeared two days before Christmas, that is, on the 23rd, the reporter was Xu Linglong's wife Alice. She said that her husband had promised to return to China Celebrated Christmas with the family, but they waited for a long time for her husband to come back, so after 24 hours, they reported him missing to us."

"It is said that they even called Xu Linglong the day before he promised to come back, but they have been unable to contact him. Alice also said that her husband has been busy with business and meetings, so if there is no important event, he will not deliberately contact him So, since I couldn't contact my husband earlier, I simply waited for him to come back at home. I didn't know that I waited and waited, but I still couldn't wait for my husband. They even contacted Xu Linglong's assistant and so on, but no one was able to communicate with him. He made contact."

Leng Yu asked, "Did Alice say when was the last time I spoke with Xu Linglong?"

He Zimi said: "Yes, she said that the last time she spoke to her husband was on the night of No. 42, December 20. At that time, Xu Linglong was still in your country, and the time of the call was around [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] in the evening. It is said that , Xu Linglong told Alice that he was alone that night, because there was nothing important, so he asked his assistant who came to your country to come back to country M first, and he would arrange another subordinate to take him to the airport later."

Leng Yu's heart skipped a beat, and she asked, "Did Alice mention the name of this subordinate?"

He Zimi shook his head and said, "We asked her too, but she said she didn't know, and she didn't ask who this subordinate was."

Could it be him.

He said that he came back to Longshi just a few days ago.

Could it be that he was referring to Dragon City, where he had been back to China for a while and only returned a few days before Christmas?If he was already in the country, why didn't he come back to Longshi directly? Could it be that he was really with Xu Linglong at that time?

And which area of ​​the country will they be in during that time?

Leng Yu thought to herself.

She was silent for a few seconds, Hezimi was so sensitive, he smelled something wrong, and asked, "Did Officer Leng find something?"

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I met a friend before Christmas. He and Xu Linglong seem to have a very close relationship."

Huang Lin took out the photo, handed it to He Zimi, and said, "The one on the right is him."

He Zimi looked at the photo for a few times, then raised his eyes to Leng Yu, with some doubts in his eyes.

Seeing this, Leng Yu said, "His name is Mr. Ding Zhenghong Ding. When I saw him, he said that he only returned to my former residence a few days before Christmas, which is called Longshi. If Alice mentioned that Xu Linglong would ask another subordinate to take him to the airport and return to country M, then I think this subordinate is likely to be Mr. Ding."

She paused, and continued: "Because when Mr. Ding came back to Longshi, it happened to coincide with the day when Xu Linglong returned to China. If there was any difference, it would only be a day or two. Therefore, the two returned to M country and returned to the country. The day of Longshi is very close. I guess Mr. Ding sent Xu Linglong to the airport and then came back to Longshi. No matter which area they were in at the time, as long as they were still in China, it would not take too much time to travel to and from all corners of our country by plane. Moreover, it was close to Christmas, and returning to Longshi by plane was the best and fastest choice.”

"Later, I will ask someone to check Mr. Ding's flight records. Then I thought, if Mr. Ding had been with Xu Linglong at that time, then maybe he had returned to our country as early as mid-December. But, if Mr. Ding really sent Xu Linglong to the airport, so Xu Linglong will not disappear. But why did Xu Linglong not return to country M? This is a mystery that I have never guessed. Therefore, I have a lot of doubts about Mr. Ding He is one of the key figures in the whole case, even on my list of suspects."

"By the way, speaking of this, we also found Xu Linglong's flight records. He flew to our country on December No. 13, which is the middle of the month. If the subordinate Alice mentioned is really Mr. Ding, then this During this period, Mr. Ding and Xu Linglong had very close contacts."

He Zimi listened quietly to Leng Yu's analysis, and then said, "Well, we also inquired about Xu Linglong's wife and his assistant. Xu Linglong did arrive in your country on that day."

Leng Yu said: "It's just that I still have a question. What is the relationship between Mr. Ding and Xu Linglong? Is it a partner or is it the relationship between the superior and the subordinate employees and the boss? Officer He, have you obtained the records of all the employees in Xu Linglong's company?" The list? If there is one, can you lend me a look?"

He Zimi opened the drawer under his desk, took out a document bag, and then pulled out a document, saying: "This is the list of employees in Xu Linglong's company."

Leng Yu took it and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and Ding Zhenghong's name really appeared on the list.It's just that this is country M, and Chinese is not the national language of that country, so Ding Zhenghong in the list is written in English pinyin.

Leng Yu looked at Ding Zhenghong's professional position and saw that he was the sales manager of the company who specialized in doing business for Xu Linglong.If this is the case, it's no wonder that he often follows Xu Linglong.

Usually these business people have a good relationship with their bosses, and only those who often travel outside know where there are famous nightclubs.

Talking about business over wine has long been part of the culture of many countries, especially in Asia.Therefore, in addition to the relationship between the superior and the subordinate, these two people are also wine and meat friends.

However, what kind of deal did they negotiate when they came to China?

Leng Yu once checked the background of Xu Linglong, and saw that he did not have any completed business or plans in China.Maybe he hasn't negotiated the deal yet, so he hasn't announced it yet?

"Officer He, Ding Zhenghong's name happens to be here."

Leng Yu pointed to the names on the list and said to He Zimi.

"Well, it becomes clear now. But, has Officer Leng found out Mr. Ding's whereabouts?" He Zimi asked.

"Not yet, but we have asked police officers in various places in the country to strictly investigate the whereabouts of this person, including the customs. They have also ordered that if they meet Mr. Ding, they will be strictly investigated and detained." Leng Yu said.

He Zimi nodded in agreement, and he immediately said: "By the way, we also questioned Xu Linglong's wife and his housekeeper, including his two children."

He glanced at Leng Yu and continued, "Alice is a native of country M, and she doesn't speak Chinese. Xu Linglong and her mostly communicate in Mandarin."

Leng Yu asked, "Mandarin? Isn't it English?"

He Zimi smiled and said: "No. But all foreigners who come to country M have lived here for a long time and have learned their own national language. Although they are not very fluent, basic communication is no problem. Since Xu Linglong Married to a local aborigine, I think he learned Mandarin very well. However, Xu Linglong is notoriously romantic, and he does have a lot of gossip. His wife knows this, and she just turns a blind eye to it. That's all."

Leng Yu let out a "hmm" and said, "That's true. There are a lot of gossip and photos of him circulating on the Internet."

Hezmi continued: "His relationship with his wife and children is actually not particularly good. After all, he often travels abroad and is rarely at home, so he rarely reunite with his family. Only during Christmas or the Chinese New Year , will stay at home for a few days. Otherwise, home is just a hotel to him."

"Then, when we interrogated Alice, his two children were by his side. The eldest son, Xu Congyuan, is 14 years old, and the youngest daughter, Xu Congling, is 11 years old. I won't say anything about the age of the daughter. As for the son, he seems to be concerned about himself. His father is very dissatisfied. I don’t know if it’s because of his rebellion in adolescence or Xu Linglong’s long-term neglect of his family.”

"Even after Xu Congyuan found out that his father was missing, he didn't show any obvious shock or sadness on his expression. He was extremely indifferent to the whole thing. I guess he was very dissatisfied with his father's merciless behavior, or else he would It was because of his father's neglect of the family that he was full of resentment towards his father."

Leng Yu agreed with He Zimi's point of view, and she said: "It would be the same in other families. Xu Linglong's lace news keeps going, and there must be some students in the school who discriminate and ridicule Xu Congyuan because of this incident. He is psychologically unbalanced. I want to ask Officer He, can his two sons and daughters speak Chinese?"

He Zimi said: "All of them. Xu Linglong let the children learn Chinese at school, such as pinyin, and asked them to apply for Chinese. As far as I know, he communicates with his two children in Mandarin."

When Hezimi uttered the word "Pinyin", he had a strong accent of a foreigner.

Leng Yu smiled, and said: "Pinyin is the basic foundation for learning Chinese. By the way, speaking of this, one of the photos I gave you just now has Chinese characters engraved on it, which is the weird thing found at the scene of the crime." Lettering. These letterings are all engraved on the inside of the coffin lid, I think Officer He should also know about it? It’s just that there is a strong hatred between the lines of these letterings.”

So, Leng Yu briefly translated the meaning on the lettering to He Zimi.

Then, she continued: "I was thinking, since the inscriptions all contain hatred, but Mr. Ding's age is very different from Xu Linglong's. Is there really that much hatred between them? And Mr. Ding Did you really kill Xu Linglong?"

When it comes to this, Leng Yu is in a daze about such guesses, the real key is those lettering.

What else is hidden between the lines?

He Zimi nodded. He looked at the photos with lettering that Leng Yu mentioned, but they were all in Chinese characters that he could not understand.

He said: "I don't know Chinese. The person who carved the characters must have learned Chinese, or else they are Chinese. But I only know ABC in the English alphabet."

ABC?A message that she had never thought of flashed in Leng Yu's head, but Officer He reminded her of it.

Is this the so-called bystander?
