Chapter 2

Lu Zhihang's local residence is located in a high-end residential community in the east of the city

When I arrived at his residence, several police cars were parked downstairs of the unit, and there was a warning line for police to handle cases at the entrance of the unit.

Outside the cordon, there are many people watching the fun

After I identified myself to the police officer who was in charge of the police line, I was allowed to enter the unit building where the incident occurred.

As a result, just as I was about to go upstairs, I saw two people wearing public security uniforms coming down from the building

One of them asked when he saw me

Are you Yan Ping? After I answered and confirmed, the man introduced himself.

I just called you Huang Yue. The on-site survey work above is not over yet. You are inconvenient to go in. We are going back to the police station now. You should go to the police station with us. Although I really want to go to see the scene of Lu Zhihang's sudden death.

But since the police officer named Huang Yue made arrangements in front of me, I could only follow him out of the unit door and boarded the police car back to the Chengdong Police Station.

After entering the police station, I was taken to a closed room. Although I had never been to such a place before, from the simple furnishings in the room, I could also tell that this must be the interrogation room of the police station.

I have no choice but to do anything about this

It seems that the police station has included me in the category of criminal suspects.

Of course, I don't worry about being wronged

According to Huang Yue's previous statement on the phone, Lu Zhihang's death was about noon today. At noon, I was eating a boxed lunch and taking a nap in the office of the editorial department. From the morning to the time I got off work before, I had never left the editorial department. I had to take a lot of evidence that could prove it.

After sitting in the closed room for a while, Huang Yue took two policemen into the interrogation room and sat upright on the seat with the table opposite me.

After step-by-step inquiries, registering my basic information such as my name, age and occupation

Huang Yue started to get to the topic

What is your relationship with Lu Zhihang?

Comrades-in-arms, very good friends

Is there anything you have been in contact with him frequently recently? Faced with the other party’s inquiry, I honestly explained the reasons why I frequently contacted Lu Zhihang

Since I expected the police might ask about the content, I deliberately brought a new magazine that had just been released for two days.

After the explanation was finished, I got up and placed the magazine in front of Huang Yue, and opened the new outdoor sports section in front of him.

Pointing to the pictures in it, Huang Yue explained again

Good attitude, and clear facts

Huang Yue is very satisfied with my performance

After roughly watching the photos taken by Lu Zhihang on the color page, Huang Yue asked someone to open the door of the interrogation room and then signaled me to leave the room.

After I walked out of the room, I vaguely heard the conversation between Huang Yue and two other police officers at the scene.

It should have nothing to do with him. I just contacted his editorial department director. He was in the editorial department office until the afternoon before getting off work, and there was no time to commit crimes.

That's for sure. If he were the murderer, how could he have come so honestly to cooperate with our investigation? Hearing such a conversation, I knew that my suspicion had been completely ruled out by the police.

Thinking of this, I was relieved for no reason

There was only one police officer in police uniform who entered through the police gate and heard the content of my phone call and seemed to have become interested in me. He looked at me silently against the wall several meters away from me.

It was not until I informed my last comrade that he had put his phone in his pocket to put his cell phone in his clothes that the policeman slowly walked in front of me.

Are you a comrade-in-arms of the deceased Lu Zhihang? The other party obviously knew my identity from the content of my call.

So I pointed out the relationship between Lu Zhihang and me and me.

Is it Ah...who are you? I frowned and looked at the short and funny policeman in front of me and responded hesitantly

Although it was my first time meeting, the other person's appearance really made me feel a little natural repulsive.

Especially the other party's red and swollen rosacea, which makes people feel uncomfortable and disgusting when they see it.

My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Zhongjun. It happens to be one of the police officers responsible for investigating the case of your comrades. If you don't mind, can you have time to chat with me? The short policeman in front of me is quite polite in his words.

Your Officer Huang Yue has questioned me just now? Why? Still have to ask? I feel a little depressed at this moment, and it is also mixed with the grief of Lu Zhihang's death

In my original plan, after leaving the police station, I prepared to contact Lu Zhihang's wife Lin Meimei. As Lu Zhihang's most loyal friend in this city, I also need to visit his family and express my condolences.

But the appearance of the police in front of me obviously disrupted my next schedule

Haha, Officer Huang interrogated you because you were going through the procedure. I just wanted to know some social situation about the deceased Lu Zhihang. Of course, if you are in a hurry and have other things to do, then we can also make an appointment for a talk. Wu Zhongjun is still polite and polite.

Seeing Wu Zhongjun like this, I was embarrassed to leave

Thinking that if the other party doesn't talk today, the other party will continue to meet up in the future. I might as well tell the other party everything they need here directly.

The future of saving is still entangled

After understanding this, I nodded and agreed to his request for conversation.

In this way, I followed this policeman named Wu Zhongjun into another office of the police station.

Finally it wasn't the interrogation room... When I entered the room, I breathed a sigh of relief. This office had a sofa and a water dispenser, which was obviously the daily office space for police officers from the police station.

Compared to the depressing interrogation room, people will at least feel more at ease here.

Wu Zhongjun made a cup of tea with a paper cup, then handed me a cigarette, and then dragged a chair to sit down at the desk.

I took the cigarette, took out the lighter to light it, and asked on my own initiative.

Officer Wu, what do you want to know?

The family situation of the deceased, such as who are the immediate relatives, where are they now, etc.... When I heard Wu Zhongjun’s statement, I looked at the other party impatiently and said

You should ask Lao Lu's wife about these questions! How do you ask me? Seeing my expression, Wu Zhongjun did not show any displeasure.

After staring at me calmly for a moment, Wu Zhongjun said solemnly: From the time he arrived at the crime scene, the deceased's lover has never appeared. We have called her, but her phone is at the crime scene...

Who was the person who reported the case? When I heard Wu Zhongjun's answer, my heart skipped a beat and I hurriedly asked.

The neighbor of the deceased downstairs reported the case during his nap at noon because the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground was heard from the upstairs so he couldn't sleep. So he went upstairs to knock on the door and gave his opinions, but he knocked for a long time, but he didn't see the deceased's residence open.

The neighbor downstairs called 110 in anger, complaining that the deceased noise disturbed the people. The patrol officer thought it was an ordinary civil dispute, so he went to mediation and knocked on the door but failed to react when he saw the deceased's residence. The 110 patrol officer originally planned to leave, but just before leaving, one of the patrol officers smelled a strong smell of blood in the aisle. For reasons of responsibility, two patrol officers found a nearby locksmith and forced the door to the deceased's residence. Then they found that the deceased had died in the living room of their residence. Wu Zhongjun patiently told me the whole process of discovering the scene of Lu Zhihang's death.

It turns out that it was not his wife Ah who reported the case? You said that his wife's mobile phone was placed on the crime scene? This is strange. Ah, who never left his mobile phone... Well, maybe he had forgotten her at home... Hearing me, Wu Zhongjun immediately began to ask his questions

Is the deceased's lover named Lin Meimei?

Yes, that's right

Where can I find Lin Meimei?

Lao Lu, the city commercial bank, turned out to be from the rural credit cooperative in their hometown. After following Lao Lu to live here, he quit his job there and then applied for a job at the commercial bank here... While I told Wu Zhongjun what I knew about Lu Zhihang's marriage and family situation, I began to recall the scene when I first saw Lin Meimei...

The first thing Lu Zhihang did when he returned to the local area after he was discharged from the army was to get married under the arrangement of his elders at home.

At that time, our group of veterans had just retired for less than a year, and most of them were still in the unemployment stage.

My personnel files are still stored in the Civil Affairs Bureau, and I receive unemployment subsidies issued by the Civil Affairs Bureau every month

So when we learned that Lu Zhihang was going to get married, our comrades had a lot of time and energy to celebrate him.

As soon as I left the long-distance bus station, Lu Zhihang picked up the bus

When I entered the town where Lu Zhihang's hometown, Lu Zhihang, who was driving, pointed to a billboard of a local rural credit cooperative on the side of the road and said: Look, that's my wife! I looked up and saw that an extremely beautiful girl appeared on the billboard. On the billboard, the image of an extremely beautiful girl appeared in front of me.

The girl was wearing work clothes from the local rural credit cooperative, smiling, dignified and generous, and she was very acquainted.

Next to it is the promotional slogan of the rural credit cooperative

Damn, you boy is very lucky? How old is this girl? Looking at Lin Meimei's beautiful appearance on the billboard, I couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Lu Zhihang's ability to marry such a beautiful beauty

Seventeen years old...

Working at the age of seventeen?

Her father is the director of the rural credit cooperative, and it is not a piece of cake to get her in. Lu Zhihang answered disapprovingly.

She is only seventeen years old, and you kid also got it done? Fuck, you pedophile! Memories ended when Lu Zhihang and I were having fun in the carriage and laughed.

The marriage between Lu Zhihang and Lin Meimei is standard in a sense. Political marriage

Lu Zhihang's father was the party secretary of his hometown at that time, his uncle was the director of the police station, and his uncle was the chief of the armed forces.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the Lu family is in his hometown to cover the sky with only one hand

However, the Lu family is a scholarly family, and has always been harmonious with other local families and has a good reputation.

Lin Meimei's father is the director of the county's rural credit cooperative

Lu Zhihang's family has power, and Lin Meimei's family has money...

Their marriage in that era was the product of the so-called standard power and money alliance

The reason why Lu Zhihang was able to get rich quickly in a short period of time was also closely related to his marriage with Lin Meimei.

I explained to Wu Zhongjun what I knew about Lu Zhihang and Lin Meimei's family background and

Social relations

Wu Zhongjun took out his notebook and carefully recorded the various information I told.

When I finished explaining, he also had a general understanding of Lu Zhihang's specific situation

Does the deceased have children? After recording the final content, Wu Zhongjun raised new questions

Yes, my son is fifteen years old and my daughter is three years old... As soon as I said that I had missed it

Lu Zhihang is rich, so five or six years ago, like most so-called successful people, he kept a young mistress outside.

This woman gave birth to a young daughter for Lu Zhihang three years ago. Several of our hard-core comrades knew about this. Even when the girl was full moon, we even gathered part to celebrate Lu Zhihang.

But Lu Zhihang had a house outside, and our comrades kept secrets from Lin Meimei and other outsiders.

In Lu Zhihang's household registration book, there is only one son in the children's column so far

Sure enough, the delicate officer Wu in front of him quickly reacted, although from another perspective

The son is fifteen years old...the daughter is only three years old? The age difference is quite large...

Well, this, that girl was not born by his wife... This, you are also a man, you should understand... Faced with Wu Zhongjun's suspicion, I can only hope to give this topic haha

But it was obvious that Officer Wu regarded this situation as a new clue and immediately began to ask about Lu Zhihang's mistress and the little girl's situation.

I had no choice but to think that Lu Zhihang was dead, and this matter would sooner or later be visible, so I had to explain to the other party what I knew about Lu Zhihang's mistress.

After saying that, Wu Zhongjun closed his notebook with satisfaction and stopped questioning me in fact.

After asking, Wu Zhongjun had no intention of letting me leave

Just as I was talking to me just now, other policemen entered the room and handed some documents to Wu Zhongjun. At this moment, Wu Zhongjun picked up the documents and seemed to have started chatting with me casually.

Your name is Yan Ping... Oh, and the name was Yan Ziyun

Ah, said it was my name, but it was actually my name.

The character "动"? Yan Ping Yan Ziyun... This name rhymes, but now few people can take the character "动"...

My watchword was given by my uncle. He is a primary school Chinese teacher and pays more attention to this

Your name is Ping, isn't it more appropriate to use Zijun as a table? I was a little surprised when I heard Wu Zhongjun say this. I realized that the policeman with an ugly rosacea nose in front of me was actually a person with some cultural background.

The meaning of the two characters Jun and Yun is actually the same. During the Three Kingdoms period, there was a Wang Ping in Shu Han. His character was Zijun. My uncle may think that the repetition rate of the character Zijun was high, so he took me Ziyun's character Ziyun. In the past, people in China did not choose the character at will. The name and character must have the same meaning.

For example, Guan Yu, whose courtesy name is Yunchang

Feather means wings, and the word cloud is long, which means that with wings, you can soar on the clouds.

Therefore, Guan Yu's name and character are related to each other

Most of the modern people have forgotten about this.

As a reporter, I am now in the magazine editorial department and I am basically a person in the cultural circle

Among the people I have come into contact with and know, there are also art of giving me a word for a name.

However, the characters you choose often only need to be nice and rhyme or sound elegant, and do not consider the connection between the name and characters.

It makes sense, Ziyun's word is not bad... Speaking of this, Wu Zhongjun smiled, followed by Yangyang's documents and information, showing an apology expression

Following what Wu Zhongjun said, hammering my heart like a heavy hammer...

When I was chatting with you just now, I took my own initiative and asked someone to try to check your personal information from the municipal bureau. Now I unexpectedly discovered that you are related to a vicious murder case that happened twenty years ago... When Wu Zhongjun looked at the information in his hand with a smile, and tried to reveal the old past that I had tried to forget and hide in a soothing tone, my body couldn't help but tremble violently. Then, a bloody smell rushed straight from inside my body. My body tilted, and my whole body lost consciousness and fell on the sofa.

According to this information, you are the survivor and witness of the murder that happened twenty years ago. You were sixteen years old at that time... Yan Ping... Mr. Yan! What's wrong with you? Wu Zhongjun was originally looking down and reading information about the murder that year. While talking casually, he found that I had no reaction. When he looked up at me, he realized that my condition was abnormal.

He quickly dropped the information in his hand and rushed to the sofa. While pressing my people, he shouted to other staff members in the police station.

Half an hour later, I was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment...

When I woke up, it was already evening two days later

Open your eyes, and your cousin Yan Guang's familiar face came into your eyes

He is my closest and only relative now

It's not surprising that I'm present at all by my side at this moment

Seeing me open my eyes, Yan Guang showed a joyful expression

Brother, you finally woke up and you have been in bed for two days... Can you speak? Tell me quickly, what did the bastards in Chengdong Police Station do to you? If you did something excessive... Your brother, I will try my best to seek justice for you... Hearing Yan Guang's impulsiveness, I quickly spoke up to stop him

They did nothing, I fainted myself! The reason I stopped them immediately was because I was really afraid that Yan Guang would cause trouble at the police station!

This guy is my uncle's only son

My uncle is a primary school Chinese teacher and is considered a little intellectual

But his only son has embarked on a completely different path of life than his uncle and me

This guy is really a gangster

And now it has a great status in the underworld in this city

There are hundreds of younger brothers and maids under his command, and they have long been entrenched in the urban-rural fringe of the northwest region of the city. They seem to operate several foot bathing rooms and bathing centers.

But in private, he is engaged in the business of loan sharks and private gambling.

Logically, ordinary underworlds do not dare to provoke the police, but my cousin is a lunatic. Among the gangster bosses in this city, he is the most rampant and often performs some eye-catching behaviors.

Finally, there is a Dog-headed Military Advisor named Yang Mengjun who is very smart. He repeatedly advises and tries to resolve his stupid behavior at the same time, which makes him safe and sound.

At this moment, Yang Mengjun was also on the side. When she saw me stopping Yan Guang from going to the police station to cause trouble, she quickly said that she was in line with her.

Brother Ping said that he fainted himself, and it has nothing to do with the people in the police station. Brother Guang, you should calm down. Now Brother Ping’s body is the most important. I think it’s better to contact the hospital and let Brother Ping take care of two more days in the hospital... While saying that, he shifted Yan Guang’s attention to my health.

Because he knew that Yan Guang and I had a deep relationship with each other.

Sure enough, after Yang Mengjun said this, Yan Guang immediately forgot the idea of ​​going to the police station to find fault and thoughtfully asked about my current physical condition.

A small crisis disappeared with the cooperation of Yang Mengjun and I

After Yan Guang arranged for someone to handle the procedures for extending the hospitalization for me, he left two younger brothers to take care of me in the hospital.

Then he took Yang Mengjun and a bunch of maids to leave the hospital

I only learned from the two younger brothers after he left that Yan Guang immediately rushed to the hospital after learning that I had fainted and was hospitalized, and stayed by my bedside in the hospital for two days and two nights

I couldn't help but sigh

Late at night, the two brothers who were accompanying me couldn't help but get tired and snored while sitting on the chair in the ward.

I can't sleep on the hospital bed

I don’t know how the police on Lu Zhihang investigated? Damn... So far, I don’t even know how Lao Lu died? Was it a sudden death? Is it a sudden illness? Or was it a murder?

However, the police officer named Wu Zhongjun seemed very interested in the case. Maybe this may be an opportunity for the case to restart the investigation. When I chose to engage in the journalist industry, my original intention was to use the opportunity to be a reporter to prompt the police to start re-investigating the bloody case that happened at my home twenty years ago. More than ten years have passed. All my efforts have been wasted. I thought there was no hope, and I was going to give up completely. But I didn’t expect that because of Lao Lu’s death, the case in my family is now in front of the police. Just when I was full of random thoughts, I was full of random thoughts.

The door of the ward was gently pushed open

I was immersed in my own thinking at this moment and didn't notice who entered the ward. At this time, it was only possible that the nurse was going to do rounds.

However, when I realized that the entrant came to my bed and did not make any sound for a long time, I suddenly looked up at the person entering the room in surprise.

A young man who looks in his twenties, wearing a camouflage uniform, and dressed in tight clothes stands in front of my bed and looks at me calmly

While I was shocked, I was about to speak out to warn the two sleeping escorts. The young man seemed to have guessed what I thought, and reached out in advance to make a gesture of silence in front of my mouth.

The young man's actions made me temporarily give up on the plan to call someone

After all, I am also a big man, and now I am lying on the bed to rest more to make my cousin Yan Guang feel at ease

Actually, I can feel that my physical condition is not serious

Even if the young man in front of me wants to use violence against me, I am absolutely sure to resist immediately

It makes me look timid

In this way, the young man and I looked at each other face to face for a moment, and I noticed that there was a visible tear mole under the left eye of the young man.

The young man suddenly said something stupid

survivor……

What did you say? I stared at him blankly

At this moment, my mind was rolling rapidly

Survivor Wu Zhongjun used this title before, but at that time, Wu Zhongjun had already seen information about the murder case twenty years ago.

And the young man who appeared in front of me for some reason inexplicably said the same name as he spoke.

How can this not shock me

Fortunately... you have not been polluted yet. After leaving this stupid word, the young man immediately turned around and left the ward.

At this moment, I seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force, and I watched the young man turn around and leave, while I was just watching him leave on the hospital bed.

During this process, I almost lost control of my body

Eyes... There seemed to be some strange light shining in the eyes of young people. When the feeling was a light blue light flashing, I lost control of my body... After an unknown amount of time, I recovered from the extreme shock, and gradually, my body began to accept control of my brain.

I sat on the hospital bed, gasping for breath, savoring the incredible physical feeling before

At this moment, I also gave up on getting up and chasing the young man.

After so long, the young man had no idea how far he had walked

However, when I came to my senses, I realized that when the young man left, something was left on the floor.

I glanced at me and unexpectedly found that I was so familiar with this thing

It is the latest issue of this latest journal that the editorial department has just released...
