Chapter 100 Verhovinsky (10)

Fei Du parked the car on the side of the road, and the two followed the path Feng Bin and Xia Xiaonan walked, all the way to the small gate on the east side of the Bell and Drum Tower.

Before and after the winter solstice, the days are shorter and the nights are longer, which seems to have the meaning of entering the night. The vast cold jade cicada between the crescent moon and the half moon hangs high in the corner of the bell and drum tower in the distance, stained with a little mist. Far away from the thin snow on the tiles.

"So the reason for leaving was that the pressure of studying was too great, so you ran out for Christmas?" Fei Du tightened his scarf and said thoughtfully, "Do you also believe this reason?"

"Let's be fair, who hasn't been young yet? Little cubs can figure out everything, and sometimes they don't necessarily have to conform to the logic of adults." Luo Wenzhou inadvertently blocked his upper hand, while carefully examining his surroundings.

I didn't feel this way when the day came. As soon as it got dark, the entire Bell and Drum Tower scenic spot became a huge maze. All the street lamps looked exactly the same, lined up in long rows, like some kind of mystery in a martial arts novel. The fascination array.

Except for the Bell and Drum Tower itself, which is the landmark Xing, all the alleys seem to be the same. Even the old antique shops have similar positions on the facades. There are three fork roads everywhere. The markings are unclear or unclear, and people are among them, and they don't know where to go when they walk.

Neither of them are blind, especially Luo Wenzhou, who has been a front-line criminal police officer for many years, and has a special sensitivity to the geographical environment and facial features of people. , also feel a little dizzy.

"No, come back, not over there." Luo Wenzhou turned on his flashlight, studied the rare road sign for a while, and called Fei Du back, who had turned in the wrong direction, "Are these two brats fed up? How did you touch it in the middle of the night?"

Fei Du suddenly said: "Going to the Bell and Drum Tower in the middle of the night, the two of them are looking at the human mirror, right?"

Luo Wenzhou was originally standing on the small steps beside the road sign, but he stepped on the air and fell off guard, stammering, "What, what?"

"'Qíng People's Mirror' is one of the top ten dating spots in this city, right in the Bell and Drum Tower Scenic Spot," Fei Du said strangely, "Have you never heard of it?"

Luo Wenzhou saved others by himself, thinking that he didn't know, and everyone didn't know. He wanted to secretly use the "field investigation case" as a guise to kidnap Fei Du and get a certificate in front of the Jade Emperor and his old man. Absolutely did not expect—Fei Du didn't do his right job to the point where he didn't have to study dating spots all day long.

"Why should I listen to this kind of crap?" Luo Wenzhou said angrily, "I think your major is to pick girls and fools. You spend all day thinking about these kinds of nonsense. Your family hasn't closed down yet, it's really a family. rich."

Fei Du was very wronged, because this happened to belong to one of his few "official" categories—the Bell and Drum Tower, a tourism project with the theme of qíng couples, was very simple and crude, but the effect was unusually good. One of the topics that the bosses in the field were puzzled by, Fei Du not only knew that there was a qíng mirror in the Bell and Drum Tower, he was also familiar with the annual turnover of the photo shop next to the qíng mirror.

After he was at a loss for a moment, he quickly noticed the anger in Luo Wenzhou's voice, and Fei Du's heart suddenly moved slightly, realizing something.

Fei Du used a lot of skill to hold back his smile, pretending that he didn't know that the "investigation" was a pretense.

Luo Wenzhou felt that he had done something stupid no matter how stupid he was, and he made up his mind that Fei Du would never know.

The two of them grabbed the two sides of the "pretence", looked at each other with "innocent" and "righteous" eyes respectively, and then looked away with guilt.

Fei Du said with reason: "The full-price ticket for the Bell and Drum Tower Scenic Spot is only 20 or 30 yuan. Since this Feng Bin's family is good, he shouldn't care about the money, and he will choose Ze Ze to come at night, but he probably just doesn't want to let him People found out about his relationship with the girl."

Luo Wenzhou nodded solemnly: "That makes sense, is there anything else?"

Fei Du: "..."

Mr. Fei, who is at ease, has never experienced such a "pretend not to be on a date" date, and he forgot his words in a handsome fashion.

Luo Wenzhou: "Let's go ahead and have a look. Guess what's the motive for concealing it? Puppy love is usually concealed from teachers and parents, and it's rarely even concealed from best friends who run away together, right?"

Fei Du followed his voice and said, "There are two situations, either because he feels he has lost his share, or because he wants to protect the other party—Feng Bin spent so much time taking the girl to see the mirror, so I guess it should be the latter."

"Well, then—" After Luo Wenzhou nodded inadvertently, his voice suddenly changed, "You didn't care about the fine for illegal parking before, and you swaggered around the city bureau all day. Why did you drive my car to the city bureau recently, but instead Knowing the rules, went to the parking lot? Do you count the former or the latter?"

Fei Du has a meal.

Luo Wenzhou lifted his eyelids and looked at him, then pointed to his ears: "Don't you take the opportunity to make a statement? I'm still waiting to hear."

"Neither," Fei Du returned to his senses, smiled ambiguously, touched Luo Wenzhou's waist, and lowered his voice, "Isn't that the Public Security Bureau, I'm afraid that I'm 'driving without a license' and will be caught— Uncle policeman, when will I go to the mirror to get a certificate?"

Luo Wenzhou: "..."

Sure enough, this bastard found out long ago, and he is pretending to be garlic here!

Fei Du's onion and garlic cloves are really annoying, and they don't hurt anyone at all. Luo Wenzhou felt that from the strands of hair to the heels of his feet, he didn't have a single cell of cuteness. He, this kind of stuff is only worthy of being dragged home, stripped, and thrown on the bed.

Among the ancient branches with lost leaves, you can see the quaint big bell on the Bell and Drum Tower, and the night is clear.

The two serious people finally tore off the riddled "pretence" and put aside the murder case where the murderer was clear at a glance.

"When I was fifteen or sixteen years old, I also planned to leave as a group, but the reason was a little more decent than the 'Ocean Festival' - at that time, KFC or some other organization held a basketball game for middle school students, and the prizes were a group of NBA stars. Signed basketball happened to have a star I liked, so I gathered a group of people, cheated a dozen sick leave slips from a cousin who was a nurse, told my family that the school organized a summer camp for competition, and went out to play for half a month. the match of."

Fei Du: "..."

This bears admirable prodigious years.

"Sure enough, I got the award, and I fooled my mother into saying that my classmate brought it back from a trip abroad." Luo Wenzhou walked side by side in the quiet alley with him, took his hand, felt cold, and gave the chestnuts that were still warm to him. He covered his hands, and used the corner of his eye to keep him from stealing food, "The parent meeting was held later, and the teacher and my mother talked about it, and this matter went away. After my dad got home and heard about it, he beat me up badly. "

Fei Du always felt that such a late-stage problem child could not be suppressed by simple force.

"My dad looks very serious, but he's actually very sensible," Luo Wenzhou said. "When he got over his anger and came back to his senses, he told me, 'A twisted melon is not sweet, not loving. Pull it down when you go to school, love it or not."

Luo Wenzhou's short stories from parents that could be described as jittery parents were incredibly attractive to Fei Du. Every time I heard him mention a few words by chance, I felt like I had encountered a behind-the-scenes egg. Seeing Luo Wenzhou suddenly stop talking about this, Fei Du couldn't help but ask, "And then?"

Luo Wenzhou: "I was quite happy at first, thinking that his old man's 'return to the shore' would change to a vegetarian diet, but I didn't expect that he would deduct my high school tuition and living expenses along with it."

"Although I occasionally skip school, I'm not ready to be a really drop-out child, so I have to go out to work and earn tuition during the holidays. That old man did what he said, and he didn't give me a penny. I gave people a bucket for two months. Filled with water, just for a ball...don't laugh."

If this story could also be saved as a specimen, Fei Du felt that he could play with it for half his life.

"Every time I talk about these humiliating things, let me speak." Luo Wenzhou raised his elbow and poked him, "It's your turn."

Fei Du: "..."

There was really nothing fun in his long growth experience, but he was really reluctant to ruin the atmosphere at this time, so he had to search his stomach for a while, and really pulled out one thing from his lackluster memory.

"Okay," Fei Du said, "I'll tell you a secret."

Luo Wenzhou made a gesture of listening intently.

"One year around the chūn festival, I went to a friend's house to pay New Year's greetings," Fei Du paused, then continued, "I saw a bicycle downstairs in his house, it was a racing car with a gear shift, and it was very irritating. Lacquer, like the pattern of a viper, looks very appealing to my eyes."

Luo Wenzhou felt that the car he was describing was inexplicably familiar.

Fei Du licked his lips, and carefully modified his words: "I left it a little New Year's gift, um... sticking it to the rear wheel with chewing gum."

Luo Wenzhou stopped abruptly—he remembered that one year, during the chūn festival, Tao Ran couldn’t go back to his hometown because he was full on duty.

Before went, remembered a little brat who was left alone, and brought a limited edition game console with him, planning to ask Tao Ran to bring it to him.

As a result, he sat at Tao Ran's house for 20 minutes, and the car downstairs was tampered with - some unfortunate child who did not know where he came from, stuck a few pieces of chewing gum on his rear wheel and exploded when he pressed it. Slightly smashed, Luo Wenzhou didn't pay attention when he left, stepped onto the car with one step, stretched out his foot and stepped on the pedals while sitting on the seat—

Nearly blasted into low Earth orbit!

Fei Du kept his smile and took a small step back guiltily.

"Fei, Du!"

"There is a knife on the head of the color word", Mr. Fei smiled for the Bomei people, and voluntarily surrendered himself in a daze, and it was too late to regret it.

He wasn't able to "give leniency" because of his confession, he was caught by Luo Wenzhou for a long time, and then he was pushed to the wall from behind.

Fei Du: "Wait...wait, wait."

"Waiting for what?" Luo Wenzhou pinched his chin and grinned, "Qiangjian doesn't need to wait for the traffic lights."

Fei Du: "There is blood on this wall..."

Luo Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, and immediately let go. Fei Du stepped back a little messily, and turned his eyes away with a pale face—fortunately, the blood on the wall had dried up, so he didn't spit it out on the spot.

There was a bloody idea on the wall, and it was very easy to ignore on the dark red wall. If Fei Du was not very sensitive to the smell of blood, he would probably have been ignored.

"The surveillance only captured the scene where Feng Bin and Xia Xiaonan were chased by the murderer and ran out of an alley." Luo Wenzhou reached out and wiped the blood on the wall. Fragments of the glass drink bottle, "Feng Bin should have been attacked suddenly when he was unprepared. He tried to resist and smashed the snacks and drinks he bought - the cleaners probably didn't pay attention and took them away. "

Fei Du lightly rubbed his eyebrows: "Feng Bin was already cut when he ran out?"

"Well," Luo Wenzhou nodded, "it hurts in the back."

With a back injury, Feng Bin was very likely to be intimate with Xia Xiaonan at the time...even kissing her. Maybe he secretly did some psychological construction all the way, and only dared to touch his beloved girl when he got here.

This is a road that is suitable for kissing in every corner. The moon is swirling, the fresh snow is clear, and the street lights often put the shadows of the two people together, which is inseparable.

This dreamlike realm was suddenly shattered by a machete.

"The murderer started at the crossroads and followed them all the way," Fei Du said slowly, "There are at least three or four places on the road we passed just now, which are more ideal than doing it here. But the murderer chose this one, why? "

When Feng Bin and Xia Xiaonan met Lu Guosheng for the first time, although Feng Bin was slashed with a knife, the two of them were indeed very embarrassed, but they ran out at that time-because, as Fei Du said, the geographical environment here is very important for the murderer. Say "not ideal". The other end of the alley is clear, extending in all directions, and there are many forks. If the two children run fast enough, they will most likely succeed in throwing off Lu Guosheng!

By the way, if the two of them hadn't stumbled and turned back to their original places, maybe they would have escaped successfully at that time.

If it wasn't for the two of them to turn back...

Luo Wenzhou and Fei Du fell silent at the same time, and this sweet road leading to the mirror of "Heaven and Human Beings" suddenly made people horrified.

Every boy who has just kissed his sweetheart can gain the greatest courage in his life at that moment. Feng Bin didn't have time to think about it, he must have tried his best to protect Xia Xiaonan and escape.

But what was the girl who was holding his hand tightly thinking at the time?

What kind of eyes is she looking at the hands that the two hold?

At this moment, the sound of very light footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the alley, and the soft rubber soles stepped on the ground almost silently. The ripples caused Luo Wenzhou to be startled, and stopped Fei Du behind him: "Who? Come out!"

A person came out tremblingly, a night patrolman in a scenic spot.

The patrolman may also be a little nervous, picking up the flashlight and shaking it up and down: "gān, gān or something? This is closed."

With a false alarm, Luo Wenzhou took out his work card from his pocket without expression: "Police, come and have a look."

The patrolman took a long breath, patted his chest hard, and squeezed out a polite smile: "Oh, okay, you're busy."

As he said that, he nodded and bowed as he was about to leave.

"Wait," Luo Wenzhou stopped him, "Can I ask your job number?"

The patrolman was stunned for a moment, then obediently took off his work card and handed it to Luo Wenzhou: "Officer, just look at it."

Luo Wenzhou calmly scanned the ID number and the photo on it, and returned the work card: "It's so late, aren't you afraid of a person patrolling the place where the murder happened?"

The patrolman's attitude was impeccable, and he gave him a big smile: "The murder is not in this street, that street is blocked, and if you want to go, you are not allowed to go."

Luo Wenzhou's blade-like gaze swept across the patrolman, staring at the patrolman who was already a little uncomfortable before he waved his hand to signal that the other party could leave.

After this little chant passed, Fei Du picked up Fang Cai's voice: "It's not a coincidence. After all, I almost went the wrong way just now."

Luo Wenzhou didn't say a word. He was clearly replaying this surveillance video in his mind—the first time Feng Bin and Xia Xiaonan escaped from Lu Guosheng's eyes, Lu Guosheng didn't chase after him. His attitude as he walked out of the intersection was almost leisurely, as if he was certain that he could not run away.

"I don't think Feng Bin's letter is quite right," Luo Wenzhou said. "But what exactly is wrong, I can't say for a while, so I sent it to you. Do you have a conclusion now?"

"There is one point for reference—although the letter begins with 'Dear Mom and Dad', the overall tone of the letter is not addressed to parents," Fei Du said, "'We are all anxious, and there is no real leisure and tranquility around us. People', 'What I wanted before, I don't want it now', and the opening sentence 'Painfully thinking about what I was born for' - a lot of sentences are used in a book called "All About Lily Zhou" , the Japanese translation, is a murder story about campus bào power. I'm not sure if he's implying something."

Luo Wenzhou pondered for a moment: "Come, follow me to the hospital, I'm going to see Xia Xiaonan."

At the same time, he quickly sent the work permit number that he had just seen to Tao Ran who was on duty that night: "Contact the person in charge of the Bell and Drum Tower and check the patroller with this work number."
