Chapter 144 Hidden in the Night
Chapter 144 Hidden in the Night
In an old community far away from the city center of City E, a woman dressed in Hanfu, who looked like a fairy, sat on a stone bench in the community garden, swinging her white legs innocently, forming a sharp contrast with the dead branches and leaves behind her.
The stone bench was built between a dead tree and a long-dried pond, in which there was an artificial rockery. The woman rested her hands on the stone bench and glanced around casually, when she suddenly saw a pair of eyes staring at her from behind the rockery.
The woman's heart tightened and she immediately stood up, subconsciously looking for those eyes.
The old building had only a snack bar with a tin roof facing the street and a bus station connecting to the city center. It was lunch time for the workers and the snack bar was packed with people.
Those eyes cleverly and silently disappeared in the crowd.
The woman didn't bother to mop the hem of her skirt and walked quickly towards the residential area. When she passed by an open window of a house on the first floor, she subconsciously looked inside and saw the pair of eyes vaguely reflected on the dusty glass.
The man was wrapped up tightly, with only his eyes full of hatred showing. The woman lowered her head and left in a hurry. When she realized she was safe, she couldn't help but look back, only to see the man standing there hunched over.
The extremely luxurious presidential suite smelled of alcohol. Shen Qingning opened her eyes and found herself lying on a soft big bed. Lin Zicheng was nowhere to be found. Last night, they had just checked into the E City Hotel when they ran into Qin Muyuan hugging two sexy beauties and checking in after them.
As soon as Qin Muyuan saw them, he threw away the beauties around him, looked at them excitedly, and insisted on giving them a few bottles of good wine. Their relationship with Qin Muyuan was limited to showing the good relationship between the dandy boys, and giving wine was a normal behavior, so they accepted it.
Lin Zicheng has a very good alcohol tolerance. Every time, Shen Qingning gets drunk first, and he takes care of the aftermath. This time is no exception.
Shen Qingning got up and opened the window to let the fresh air clear the smell of alcohol in the room, and ordered himself a cup of coffee to refresh himself. He sat in the study and turned on the computer. While investigating Chu Ping, he also investigated Mu Li.
That day in the ward, Lin Zicheng said that Chu Ping liked Mu Li, and in order to play the hero saving the beauty, he made Mu Li the mouse of the year. That night, Chu Ping protected Mu Li with his own strength, and when dawn came, he finally won the heart of the beauty.
Chu Ping is just an ordinary rich second generation. It is impossible for him to spend money to bribe a cat that is richer than him. There must be a special reason.
Shen Qingning clicked on Mu Li's information thoughtfully and read it carefully.
Mu Li can be considered a top-notch beauty. Her every frown and smile in the photos can be captivating, especially at the school anniversary one year, when she was wearing a white and green Hanfu long dress, like a fairy in the forest, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, her red lips slightly parted, and a sweet smile that was intoxicating.
It was also in this year that she became a mouse.
School anniversary?
Shen Qingning couldn't help but recall that Lin Zicheng had mentioned that one year in order to get the position of school anniversary host, Xu Minmin harmed another girl during the finals.
Thinking of this, he checked the year when Xu Minmin was the host of the school anniversary celebration, and sure enough, it was the same year when Mu Li was the mouse.
There seems to be a connection between the two, but also there seems to be no connection.
During the investigation, Mu Li was found to be an arrogant and lonely girl who was used to being alone. Only after she got together with Chu Ping did she have someone around her.
In order to avenge Mu Li, Chu Ping would rather sacrifice himself and turn Liang Xijin into a cripple who would rather die than live.
Shen Qingning tapped the mouse with his right index finger, staring at the photos of Xu Minmin and Mu Li on the screen in a daze, so much so that he didn't even notice Lin Zicheng coming back.
"Uh..." Lin Zicheng leaned his hands on the desk, leaned his head towards the computer screen, and sighed helplessly: "Shen's lovely wife, looking at other people's beautiful photos early in the morning, is it because I didn't satisfy you?"
Shen Qingning was frightened by the sudden look on his face, and his whole body seemed to freeze. He pursed his lips into a line, and before he could explain, Lin Zicheng suddenly laughed, slowly put his hands away, and put them in his trouser pockets.
Lin Zicheng's eyelids drooped first, then lifted up, and he glanced at Shen Qingning from bottom to top with an evil smile. His deep voice was like a furry claw that went straight into Shen Qingning's heart: "What are you doing? You're caught and you still want to quibble? It's okay, my dear wife Shen, don't be nervous. I will make you remember my shape and size deeply, and let you know that your body only welcomes me."
Shen Qingning has been in the world of pleasure for more than ten years, and can be said to have become numb to all kinds of obscene words. But now facing Lin Zicheng's words, it would be difficult for him to not react even if he was a wooden man, let alone in front of his favorite person.
Under Lin Zicheng's burning gaze, Shen Qingning stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand across the desk, grabbed Lin Zicheng's collar, and kissed this crazy mouth with strong possessiveness. His tongue wantonly invaded the other's mouth until he felt he was about to suffocate, then he let go of Lin Zicheng and sat back in the chair.
"Satisfied?" Shen Qingning blushed as she met Lin Zicheng's smiling eyes.
Lin Zicheng licked his lips and said, "Alas... it's a pity that it's not night yet."
Shen Qingning: “…”
After Lin Zicheng had enough fun, he walked around from the desk to Shen Qingning's chair, put one hand on the back of the chair, and held the edge of the table with one hand, and said thoughtfully: "Mu Li signed an enrollment agreement with the old principal that year. I don't know the details, but I guess it's to work somewhere."
Shen Qingning frowned: "KN underground laboratory? Mu Li's intelligence is not up to standard, so where else can he go?"
"Orphanage." Lin Zicheng turned his head and smiled at him. "Children like to be close to pretty girls. Although Mu Li is a loner in school, she is very caring. I have seen her and another girl feeding stray cats in the school."
Shen Qingning was stunned, and struggled to regain his wits from the beauty. According to the timeline, the orphanage in City C had closed down long ago, and Mu Li couldn't possibly go there to work, so where else could she go?
"Shen's dear wife, you study beauties as soon as you get up, and don't you care where your husband goes so early in the morning?" Lin Zicheng took another step closer to Shen Qingning, his long eyelashes fluttering, interpreting purity and grievance to the fullest.
Shen Qingning sighed silently in his heart. Lin Zicheng knew that he was most susceptible to this kind of trick, so he deliberately acted aggrieved and naive, making him want to take out his heart to prove his innocence.
"Then may I ask, dear Master Lin, where are you going?" Shen Qingning put her arms around Lin Zicheng's waist, raised her head, and her eyes curved slightly. "If you go on a date with someone else, I will definitely kill that person."
Lin Zicheng didn't move, and said, "I went to buy you a set of sexy clothes. I saw you drunk last night and thought this set of clothes would suit you very well."
Shen Qingning: “…”
In front of Young Master Lin's bad taste, Shen Qingning still admits that he is inferior!
E time police station, 8:30 in the morning.
Li Yize took the bus to report for duty. He stood at the door of Director Zhu's office and waited for a long time before being allowed to go in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Director Zhu making a cup of tea, holding the phone with a serious expression, and repeating: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, I know."
Zhu Ju was over fifty years old, with a thin face and a strange temper. He was an old-fashioned man. He was not old-fashioned in his behavior, but he would always bring his yellowed teacup with him and make a cup of tea wherever he went.
He hung up the phone and raised the corners of his mouth dryly towards Li Yize, with a terrifying feeling of determination that a hard tree must have to bloom.
Li Yize's heart sank. When he was applying, Director Zhang patted him on the shoulder and said in an ambiguous tone, "When you go there, you have to learn to hide your light. Being too dazzling will easily become a thorn in others' eyes."
"Director Zhu, hello, I'm..." Before he could finish his words, Director Zhu asked another person to come in and said, "Let him take you to your office. If you have any questions, you can ask him. That's it for now."
Li Yize nodded blankly and followed the person who came in out, glancing back from time to time. Director Zhu's behavior just now was obviously refusing him to come in to investigate something, and just randomly found someone to send him away.
"Oh... Director Zhao is still the best." Li Yize muttered to himself. After sitting in his office, he began to think about the serial murder case that had just been closed.
According to Lin Zicheng, the three women who died had some bad things on their bodies, and these things might very well be the points that stimulated the murderer.
Thinking of this, Li Yize began to carefully check the conditions of the deceased before their death, and found that it was just as Lin Zicheng said, they were not really just good citizens, but their crimes did not deserve the death penalty.
"Trial?" Li Yize subconsciously tightened his pen. "On what basis do they replace the law and punish others? They think that they can trample on other people's lives at will just because they have walked out of hell!"
Li Yize looked up at the hazy sky outside the window. He and Lin Zicheng were also people who walked out of that hell...
