Chapter Thirty-Seven What a Coincidence

Lu Zheng walked along the corridor on the eighth floor from beginning to end, and then from end to end, without stopping.

Then he went up to the twelfth floor and walked around his room.

The next thing is simple.

After finishing the whole show, Lu Zheng went home first, picked up a few changes of clothes, a mobile phone charger and personal toiletries, and then went back to Qingyu Hotel again.

After putting things away, I saw that the time was already past five in the afternoon, so I sat on the sofa in the hotel lobby and played with my phone.

The Qi-Seeking Talisman folded into a square shape was quietly hidden in his hand, exuding a faint meaning of guidance.

Lu Zheng's pesticide game was interrupted by a phone call without waiting for the person he was waiting for.

"Lin Wan?"

Sure enough... Even if the murderer is not found, he is still suspected, and the police will call at any time.

"Hey, Lu Zheng, are you at home? I want to talk to you."

"No, it's at the hotel."

"hotel?"

"Well." Lu Zheng explained, "When I thought that the murderer could come in quietly, I felt a little scared. What if he kills me again and silences me? So to be on the safe side, I decided to stay in a hotel for a few days."

Lin Wan couldn't laugh or cry on the other end of the phone, "Are you concerned? The murderer broke into your house to steal in order to frame you and divert the attention of the police."

Lu Zheng was unmoved, "But now the only evidence points to me. What if he tries to commit suicide out of fear of crime again?"

Lin Wan couldn't help but hesitated. Although it was unreasonable to say that Lu Zheng was worried, when she thought about it carefully, it actually made sense.

"Which hotel? I'll find you!"

“Sunny Hotel.”



Half an hour later, Lin Wan came to the door.

It was already off duty time, so Lin Wan was not wearing a police uniform. She was wearing short-sleeved shorts and cropped trousers, and a pair of high-cushion sneakers on her feet, which made her legs even longer and straighter.

"What's the matter?"

"Can't I come to you if I have nothing to do?"

Lu Zheng was stunned, and Lin Wan paused for a moment, then immediately joked, "You are a martial arts master, why are you so afraid of the other party that you hid in the hotel?"

Lu Zheng was helpless, "Martial arts masters are facing the enemy head-on. If the opponent comes up to him silently in the middle of the night, no matter how good his martial arts skills are, he has to kneel down. How do you think Zhang Fei died?"

Lin Wan sat next to Lu Zheng, "I came here to ask you again, did you see the same person when you went home after the conflict with Li Yanjie last weekend, and when you went out the day before yesterday?"

Lu Zheng really thought about it carefully, but in the end he shook his head, "No."

"Why, with today's technology, can't the murderer be found?"

"Technology is not omnipotent." Lin Wan said helplessly, "The other party is a master. He evaded all the cameras at the scene and did not leave any traces."

"The only evidence of co-authorship is the fruit knife?" Lu Zheng was speechless, "Isn't that a clear attempt to frame me?"

"But this is also a clue." Lin Wan explained, "If you don't do it well, it will be wrong if you do it more. Since the other party involves you, they will naturally leave clues around you."

"Did you find it?"

"Well... at least we found traces." Lin Wan thought to herself, pretending to be a delivery boy, can it be considered as leaving traces?

"Then you are pretty awesome!" Lu Zheng couldn't help but praise.

"Haha." Lin Wan forced a smile without hesitation, and then asked casually, "By the way, you lost your fruit knife for a few days and didn't find it?"

"I've used that fruit knife twice to peel apples since I bought it." Lu Zheng shook his head, "I regret eating the apples. If I don't use them once, he stole them in vain!"

Lin Wan chuckled when she heard this, "You are really unlucky. You exposed your hand and were targeted by the murderer."

Lu Zheng sighed, "Who says it's not the case? It's not like before. Now as long as the opponent lies down on the ground, the master has to kneel down and beg the opponent."

Lin Wan couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, then turned her eyes and said, "Yes, but you can really hide it and don't even show it in college? You can definitely attract female classmates."

"Uh, I never thought about it."

"I didn't expect you to be an honest child."

"That doesn't sound like a compliment."

"Did you have meal?"

"No, I'm not hungry."

"After something like this happened, it's understandable that you're not hungry, but you have to eat no matter what. Let's go and find a restaurant to eat."

Lu Zheng blinked and was about to find an excuse to refuse, when the elevator door on the other side of the lobby opened and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man walked out.

The Qi-Seeking Talisman in the palm of his hand vibrated slightly and pointed directly at this person.

The man's eyes swept across Lu Zheng and Lin Wan without any movement, and then he strolled towards the entrance of the hall.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wan saw Lu Zheng suddenly looking at that person blankly, and couldn't help but change her gaze.

"That person's eyes..."

Lu Zheng said to himself, "I have some impressions, and...it seems...not right?"

Lu Zheng stood up carelessly and walked towards the man.

Lin Wan frowned and stood up to follow.

"Lu Zheng?"

However, Lu Zheng had already walked behind the man at this time, and without saying hello, he silently lunged and punched the man in the back of the head.

The wind howled and the fists were powerful.

"Lu Zheng!"

However, the next moment, Lin Wan did not see the scene of the man being punched in the head by Lu Zheng.

The man turned his head to the side and instantly dodged Lu Zheng's punch, then fled and ran towards the hotel door at high speed.

"That's you!"

Lu Zheng shouted loudly and kicked his feet, going even faster than his opponent.

The man suddenly turned around, then waved his hand back, and a bright light shone on his hand.

"Lu Zheng, be careful!" Lin Wan exclaimed, her face turned pale, because that flash of light was a sharp blade, only thirty centimeters away from Lu Zheng's neck.

Although he still had an ordinary face, the other person's eyes were full of murderous intent.

Twist and punch again.

"Bang!"

Lu Zheng's fist made close contact with the opponent's temple.

Then the opponent turned over and fell down.

Until then, people in the hotel lobby started to scream, half of them came forward to watch, and half started to call the police.

"police!"

Lin Wan shouted before rushing to Lu Zheng's side.

He looked at the middle-aged man who was lying on the ground, rolling his eyes as if he was dizzy.

"He is..."

"What a coincidence!" Lu Zheng's tone was full of shock, "You asked me to recall the people I met in those two days, and I just remembered that when I went home that night, I happened to meet a delivery man delivering food.

.

At that time, he and I were in the same elevator, and when I got to the seventeenth floor, he clicked on the top floor, and he and I even looked at each other."

Lin Wan was shocked, "He is wearing a mask, right? Do you remember the features of his eyebrows?"

Lu Zheng pointed to the middle-aged man on the ground, "Didn't I just watch this again? It's equivalent to strengthening my memory."

Lin Wan was speechless, "But isn't this too coincidental?"

Lu Zheng smiled without showing his teeth, "No way, it's just such a coincidence."
