Yan Ju and Lu Sheng reached a tacit understanding. They did not reveal their suspicions about Lin Xi, but just wanted to find clues about the destroyed files as soon as possible.
Because of Lin Xi's special confession before his death, Lin Xi chose to believe the Huangzhou police.
Although the subtle relationship between Lin Xi and Director Zhuang made Lin Xi aware of the abnormality, she even guessed that Lin Xi might have done some illegal things. Because of this, Lin Xi had some doubts about whether to cooperate with the Huangzhou police.
After hesitating, but after all, the person was dead, and the death was unknown, Lin Xi decided to follow her brother's instructions and hand over the USB flash drive.
"Actually, we still have a backup copy of that file."
Lin Xi's words were like beating a heavy drum, and the wonderful vibration frequency spread rapidly in the cramped space, which not only made Yan Ju overjoyed, but also made Lu Sheng, who was in a daze, wake up instantly.
Lu Sheng moved, leaned forward, looked at Lin Xi's back and said, "Where is it? Do you have it with you?"
"No, we saved it on a USB flash drive and hid it."
Yan Ju turned to look at Lin Xi and said to her, "Then let's go and get it now. Where is it?"
"Huangzhou City Library."
We were about to enter the city ahead, so Yan Ju sounded the siren and drove at full speed towards the library.
The library is located in the core area of Huangzhou. As long as you spend 100 yuan in the library, you can rent a bookcase of your own for a whole year.
Huangzhou finally made a wise move. This convenient and beneficial place is not far away from the crowd. It has a spiritual habitat belonging to the city on one of the most important arterial roads in the city.
But it backfired. Against the bustling scene of people coming and going, the front door of the library was deserted. You could even set up a net in front of the door to catch flying sparrows.
Yan Ju parked the car nearby. Lin Xi had already gotten out of the car. Before Lu Sheng's door was closed, he heard Yan Ju's phone ringing.
"Hey, Conan."
Lu Sheng glanced at Yan Ju, wanting to stop and continue listening to the news on the other side, but Yan Ju signaled Lu Sheng to accompany Lin Xi and quickly go over to retrieve the things.
Yan Ju continued to talk to the phone, "How is it?"
"Yeah…"
Lu Sheng closed the door and followed Lin Xi into the library.
There were no further mistakes, and the two of them got the USB drive smoothly. Lu Sheng took the USB drive, but the joy they imagined did not come.
Lu Sheng held such a small gadget in his hand, and the metal shell made his palms feel its icy touch.
All the unknowns are stored in the body of this little thing. Lu Sheng has a feeling that his own destiny seems to be tied to it. Yes, tied to this USB disk, and it seems that there are more.
Bind once.
Lu Sheng thought about this and stood there motionless.
Lin Xi thought Lu Sheng was considering the suggestion she just made, so Lin Xi suggested going to the self-service printer in the library to print out the information.
"Lu Sheng?"
"Lu Sheng?"
Lin Xi called him several times from the side, and Lu Sheng finally calmed down, "It's better to take it back to the police station and print it out."
Lu Sheng didn't want to print out the materials right away. He didn't have any complicated ideas now. He just suddenly no longer wanted to know the information inside, or it could be said that he was afraid of knowing the information inside.
Finding the dossier was his goal, and now he has achieved it, but at this moment he feels very unsure. This kind of mentality is not about being satisfied after a hard pursuit, but also about the emptiness in his heart that comes with it. This is the real lack of confidence in his heart.
At the end of the day, I felt endless emptiness in my heart.
So what if I get it? Who knows what kind of information it will contain? It might just be a few pages of useless paper, and it might contain some shocking secret, but what then? Once some facts happen, how can it be done?
will change.
Lu Sheng didn't know how he walked out of the library, or how he got into the police car.
The door slammed with a bang, and the sound immediately dispelled Lu Sheng's wandering thoughts. When he saw Yan Ju's smiling face, Lu Sheng finally felt a little normal.
"Did you get it?"
"Yeah!" Lu Sheng looked at the happy Yan Ju and patted his pocket again.
"There is good news!" Yan Ju's joy was beyond words, and he did not hide his good mood at all.
"What?"
"Let's go to the old city first, and then go back to the police station."
Lu Sheng was thankful that he could see the information in the dossier later.
Before Lu Sheng could ask, Yan Ju continued to say excitedly, "Ke Nan found the fat old man who used to guard the clothing factory."
"Then the old man is still... quite good?" Thinking that ten years had passed and he could still find the fat man, Lu Sheng paid attention to his words and did not say any unpleasant words.
"Still, and Ke Nan also said that the old man didn't want to talk on the phone and wanted to talk about what happened back then in person."
"It looks like we can talk about something. I really gained a lot today." Lu Sheng didn't hear much excitement in his voice. He just felt that he should say something to respond to the good mood of the serious situation.
"Yes, Conan is on his way to the fat uncle's house. Let's go there right now."
Lin Xi didn't know what the two were talking about. She was eager to push the matter forward. Now she had an illusion. It was like showing her last trump card on the card table. Now the initiative was no longer in her hands.
inside.
Lin Xi said in surprise, "Shouldn't we go back and read the files now?"
"Ring...Ring...Ring..."
Lu Sheng didn't realize that the ringtone of his cell phone had rang. He was waiting for Yan Ju to reply to Lin Xi, and Yan Ju was also waiting for Lu Sheng to reply to Lin Xi.
The phone rang at the right time, breaking the brief silence.
"Answer the phone, Lu Sheng?"
"Is it mine?" As soon as Lu Sheng's hand touched the phone, he immediately confirmed, "It's really mine."
Lu Sheng answered the phone, and Xiao Zhu's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "Master, I'm about to get off the highway. Where are you now? Should I go back to the police station directly?"
"We'll go to the old city in a while. It's not too far from your place. You can drop by as well."
"Where is it?"
"Haven't you been there?"
"Master, why are you here again? When did I go there?"
Lu Sheng was tired of this inexplicably familiar feeling, and said to Xiao Zhu with an annoyed mood, "Why are you so impatient when talking to me? I will send you the location in a moment."
After saying that, Lu Sheng hung up the phone, then turned to Lin Xi and said, "It's not easy to reveal the details yet, but one thing is that in the case your brother Lin Xi handled, this fat man was also a relevant witness."
Lin Xi didn't speak anymore, and quietly watched the things outside the window speeding back.
