Chapter 22 The Rooftop

In the office, Ma Xiaoling stood next to Wan Qi holding a stack of documents.

"So Luo Min is dead? The cause of death was jumping from a building?"

Listening to Ma Xiaoling's narration, Wan Qi turned the ballpoint pen in his hand and asked casually.

"Yes! According to her classmates, because Luo Min's figure is getting bigger and bigger, all the boys who pursued her in the past have stayed away from her!

Maybe he chose this way of death because he couldn't bear the blow!

And... and... team leader, we found a diary that Luo Min had before his death. On the last page, he wrote this sentence.

The person I hate most in my life is called Wan Qi. He ruined everything for me!

No matter what I do, I will never let him go!"

When she said the last sentence, Ma Xiaoling's voice was a little hesitant and confused.

However, Wan Qi's reaction when he heard this sentence was just a cold and disdainful one.

"Team leader, I don't understand. You obviously saved her life! Why is it that you are the person she hates most in the end?

Is it just because you didn't agree to help her suppress her appetite?

Indeed, I felt that Luo Min was very pitiful at that time, and I felt very sorry that I could not help her.

But why should she hate you, who saved her life, instead of Taoli, who almost killed her?"

Seeing Wan Qi's expression, Ma Xiaoling asked the question that had been pressing in her heart for a long time.

As he spoke, Ma Xiaolin's face also showed an expression of anger and confusion.

"If you win favor with rice, you will lose hatred with rice! This principle has never changed! In fact, that was why I didn't help her that day.

The main reason was that she had obviously recovered by that time.

But she keeps looking for reasons to want me to help her continue to suppress her appetite!

I could clearly see that Luo Min's heart at that time had been completely eroded by a greedy desire.

Originally, I didn't help him because I wanted her to force her to change through her own efforts!

In order to get rid of the heart that was eroded by greed and desire, I didn't expect that she would still die in the end!"

Wan Qi put down the ballpoint pen in his hand and lit a cigarette for himself.

"It turns out that the team leader has discovered the problem with Luo Min before!

Then if you don't tell me clearly, I will waste my feelings in vain!"

Ma Xiaoling pouted and whispered dissatisfiedly.

"No, I won't tell you! You must know that the world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable, especially the supernatural world.

There are many things that I can’t explain myself. You are still young, so even if I say a lot of things to you, you may not really understand!

Often only through facts can you have some profound understanding!”

Wan Qi smoked a cigarette and talked to Ma Xiaoling with an old-fashioned look.

Looking at the young man in front of her who was smoking and obviously not much older than herself, Ma Xiaoling felt helpless to complain.

If it were a gray-haired old man saying these words to himself.

Ma Xiaoling may think it makes sense, but the leader of her team in front of her has a face that looks like that of a young man in his twenties.

Ma Xiaoling felt weird no matter what she heard, even though this young man's true age made him her ancestor.

"That's right! Luo Min is dead, why did you specially put her case on my desk?

This is not some supernatural phenomenon! It seems that it is not within the scope of our investigation!"

Wan Qi glanced at the table, looked at the document, and asked Ma Xiaoling curiously.

"The reason why this is placed on your desk is because Luo Min's death was very strange.

After removing her body, the relevant departments discovered this pattern! That’s why they contacted us!”

With that said, Ma Xiaoling turned the entire document to the last page, pointed at the blood-stained photo and said to Wan Qi.

Seeing the blood-stained photo, Wan Qi's pupils couldn't help but shrink tightly.

The pattern formed by the bloodstain was too familiar to Wan Qi.

He had seen it at Zhang Yuanming's home, and he had also seen it in front of Taoli's shop.

It was the weird rune in the middle of the array. When he saw this rune, Wan Qi had a bad premonition.

He always felt like he had overlooked something, but he couldn't remember it.

A full moon shines high in the sky, above the three-story building of the Special Incident Investigation Bureau, Wan Qi is sitting alone on the platform.

It's strange to say that the height of this three-story building clearly looks like only a dozen meters.

Standing on the small building, you can actually see the noisy neon lights and pedestrians coming and going in the city.

Ma Xiaoling quietly walked up to the rooftop, came to Wan Qi's side, and looked at the scenery not far away with him.

"Team leader, what are you looking at?"

After standing for a while, Ma Xiaoling looked at Wan Qi curiously and asked.

"I'm looking at the sky, the earth, and people's hearts!"

Holding the cigarette in his mouth, Wan Qi stared at everything in the distance and replied calmly.

"Look at people's hearts? So what do you see, team leader?"

Wan Qi's words immediately aroused Ma Xiaoling's interest.

"I saw the people in front of me were full of desires. Ma Xiaoling, why do you think there are so many desires in people's hearts?"

Wan Qi took off the cigarette from his mouth, gently dusted off some ashes and asked.

"In this world, how many people live without desires? Team leader, don't you actually have a lot of desires in your heart?"

Regarding Wan Qi's question, Ma Xiaoling smiled slightly and did not answer directly.

"Hahaha! That's right! But I'm different from them. At least I can control my inner desires instead of being controlled by my inner desires!"

In response to Ma Xiaoling's answer, Wan Qi showed a faint smile and flicked out the cigarette butt.

The moonlight shone on the two of them, making their shadows grow long.

"Someone without quality is throwing cigarette butts upstairs!

Let me catch you and watch you skin me alive! Oh! You burned me to death!"

Downstairs, the sound of Yuan Si covering his head and yelling in pain could be heard.
