When the phone rang, Lu Sheng was sitting on the bed in the hotel. He had just made a bowl of instant noodles. Just as he was about to eat it, he picked up the mobile phone lying next to him on the bed and looked at Bai Rui's call on the screen.
Hesitant to pick up.
The two of them had just separated not long ago, and Lu Sheng didn't expect her call to come so soon. He didn't want to have any contact with Bai Rui anymore, but from the depths of his heart, he was now looking forward to seeing Bai Rui again.
Call or even meet.
Lu Sheng still answered the phone, but he didn't speak. He didn't feel the coldness brought by the tempered film of the phone, but listened intently to the voice coming from the receiver.
"Hello."
A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Lu Sheng immediately recognized who the other party was. He was a little surprised, a little happy, and a little disappointed.
"Is it Zhou Xiaodie?"
"Well, I thought about it and there are some things I still need to talk to you about."
"It's not convenient to talk on the phone. Let's talk in person."
The other end of the phone became quiet, and after hesitating for a while, he said, "Then where can we talk?"
Lu Sheng knew that it was not appropriate for Zhou Xiaodie to come to the small hotel where he was staying, but he was not very familiar with Liang County, Meizhou, so he said, "Tell me where to meet, tell me, I will rush there now."
"Go to the station square of Liangxian Bus Terminal."
Zhou Xiaodie chose that place for a reason. Although she didn't think Lu Sheng was a bad person, after all, she didn't even know the other person's name. It was always necessary to be cautious. There were many people there at night and it was relatively safer.
"Okay, see you later." After Lu Sheng finished speaking, both parties hung up the phone at the same time.
Before even taking a bite of the instant noodles in the bowl, Lu Sheng put down the bowl of instant noodles and hurried out the door.
When Lu Sheng got off the taxi and rushed to the station square, he immediately understood why Zhou Xiaodie chose to meet here.
There are many uncles and aunties in the square. They gather together, not to dance in the square, but to walk in groups in the square, like a parade. They exercise in this way.
Occupying the square.
There were many small wooden stools on the outside of the square for people passing by to rest. From a distance, Lu Sheng saw Zhou Xiaodie and her daughter sitting on the other side of the square, waiting for him.
Lu Sheng dodged the rampaging crowd and trotted across the playground.
Seeing Lu Sheng running over, Zhou Xiaodie and her daughter also stood up.

After walking out of the police station door, Kong Weifeng suddenly remembered his car parked outside the police station door. "Will I be photographed if I park in front of your police station?"
Lin Xi, who was standing upstairs, saw everything that happened downstairs just now. He pretended not to know and said doubtfully, "Didn't you bring the car in?"
Kong Weifeng glanced at the guard room and said jokingly to Lin Xi, "The door god here is really awesome."
"Oh, this Lao Li..." Lin Xi smiled. He did not finish what he said. Instead, he looked at the door and said another sentence, "It's okay. Can you be fined if you come to Meizhou?"
"Go and drive the car into the yard and take my car away."
Kong Weifeng did not agree, and the two of them said a few words at the door. Kong Weifeng still insisted on driving his own car and followed Lin Xi's car to Xingfu Road.
Happy Road at night is still as lifeless as ever. The street lights on both sides of the road are only turned on on one side. It's dark and deserted.
Kong Weifeng watched the situation around Xingfu Road carefully and chatted with Lin Xi from time to time.
When he saw the cameras near the Beautiful Home Hotel, Kong Weifeng asked, "Didn't the cameras on this road capture any useful information?"
"Our Meizhou is no better than your Huangzhou. The city has no money. The few cameras you see now were not installed three years ago. At that time, there were only two cameras at the intersections on both sides. That's why we started
From the surveillance video of the cameras on both sides, it was inferred that the white car that caused the accident stayed on Xingfu Road for more than two hours."
Kong Weifeng listened to Lin Xi's words and repeated, "Stayed for more than two hours?"
"Yes, we guess that the suspect has been waiting for Bai Longqiang to appear."
"Does Bai Longqiang's family live nearby? Probably not." Kong Weifeng had just left Shengshi Huating during the day. Of course Kong Weifeng knew where Bai Longqiang and Zhou Xiaodie's homes were, so he asked knowingly.
"Well, Bai Longqiang doesn't live nearby. He walked out of a nearby underground entertainment venue that night."
Listening to a police chief talking about this place in a plain language, Kong Weifeng always felt a little strange.
Kong Weifeng did not bother with illegal places that should not exist in other people's territory. He just asked casually, "So, he started gambling again?"
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment when he heard Kong Weifeng say the word "again". He clearly didn't mention the underground casino just now, but Kong Weifeng obviously knew that Bai Longqiang was addicted to gambling. Neither of the two case files about Bai Longqiang mentioned him.
Gambling information.
Only then did Lin Xi realize that Kong Weifeng already knew so much information about Bai Longqiang.
"Oh, um, Bai Longqiang is addicted to gambling and owes a lot of money, so he stole cars."
Under the dim light of the outdoor street lights, neither of them noticed the subtle changes in the other's expression. "Lin Xi, in your Meizhou, is it easy to sell a stolen car? Especially a luxury car."
Kong Weifeng's sudden question made Lin Xi a little overwhelmed. Faced with this question, he actually forgot that, nominally speaking, he was not involved in Xiaoqing's case ten years ago.
"It's difficult now. It was difficult to say ten years ago, and it shouldn't be easy either."
Kong Weifeng showed a meaningful smile, "Is he a fool?"
"Oh, that's right," Lin Xi echoed Kong Weifeng's words, "Who says it's not the case? Maybe he was stupid to lose."
Originally, they were investigating the case of Bai Longqiang being hit, but after a few words of conversation, they still didn't avoid Xiaoqing's case.
Lin Xi finally came to his senses. It was impossible for him to be involved in that case back then. He secretly cursed himself for his slow reaction and said hurriedly, "I don't know much about the case ten years ago, but the witnesses and physical evidence are all there. No,
What will be the problem?"
"Well, let's not talk about that case."
Although Kong Weifeng wanted to know about the situation back then, he also knew that it was not convenient to mention too many cases in other jurisdictions, so he quickly explained:
"I also got inspiration from the phone call with you. There was a car explosion in Huangzhou three years ago. We have never found the source of the car. I suspect that it may be the car that killed Bai Longqiang that year, so I rushed there specially.
Came here."
Kong Weifeng's explanation seems reasonable, but it is too obvious.
