Chapter 68 Something's Not Right

The murder charge has definitely been proven, but as Di Xu's personal assistant, whether Zhou Zhiping participated in the business of his company or what role he played in it remains to be further investigated by the Economic Investigation Brigade.

The real culprit was caught, Bai Xianxian was cleared of his charges, and his bail pending trial was revoked.

The next morning, Bai Xianxian, accompanied by her entrusted lawyer Ge Liangcai, came over to handle the relevant procedures. After completing all the relevant procedures, she asked Duan Mo: "Can I see Qiu Tong?"

Although there was no emotion in her tone, the change of title clearly showed that Qiu Tong was no longer one of her own in her heart.

"According to regulations, it's not possible now," Duanmo said.

Bai Xianxian asked tentatively: "Can you please help me ask...why did she do this?"

"When we can meet her, I'll tell you, if you have anything to say, you can ask her in person."

Before the suspect's sentence takes effect, except for his defense lawyer, he is not allowed to see his relatives or friends.

"Okay." Bai Xianxian nodded.

She thinks she treats Qiu Tong well. Even if that incident happened, it was Feng Yuan who did it and it had nothing to do with her.

But what Qiu Tong did made her extremely scared. If Zhou Zhiping had changed his mind even slightly that day, she might have died long ago.



"What are you thinking about?" Lu Wuchuan handed several signed documents across the desk. The little girl had been in a daze since returning to the office, as if she had something on her mind.

"I'm thinking about Bai Xianxian." Duanmo took the materials, sorted them into files, and put them into folders. "I always feel like something is wrong." But she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Primary school girl, you don't suspect that she is Zhou Zhiping's accomplice, right?" Jiang Muyang joked, "The two conspired to murder, and the matter was exposed, and Zhou Zhiping alone resisted all charges."

Duan Mo chuckled: "My imagination is not that big. Besides, the evidence is conclusive, there is no possibility at all. I just think Bai Xiaoya's car accident is unclear."

"You said the evidence is conclusive, why are you still thinking so much?" Lu Dongming pushed the keyboard forward and stretched, "Hey, what are you doing during the National Day? Are you interested in going horseback riding on the grassland?"

"Me, me, me!" Jiang Muyang's attention was immediately attracted, "I want to live in a yurt and eat roasted whole lamb!"

"I just know how to eat!" Lu Dongming gave him a look of contempt and asked the others, "What about you?"

"I want to have a good rest at home, so I won't go." Duanmo said, riding horses on the grassland sounded good, but when she thought about the crowds everywhere during the Golden Week, she lost interest.

"How many days are you going to go?" Yan Yishuai asked, "I can't do it if there are too many days. I have to stay at home with my mother."

"Let's go by car. I checked the guide before and there is a good route that takes four days." Lu Dongming gave a rough outline of the itinerary, "Boss, what do you think?"

Lu Wuchuan waved his hand: "You go ahead, I have other things to do."

Lu Dongming understood clearly and turned his attention to Bao Sheng: "Baozi, do you want to take your little steel cannon out to play?"

Bao Sheng's face suddenly turned red: "Don't talk nonsense, she is not from my family."

"It's not right now, you can take this opportunity to become yes!" Lu Dongming raised his eyebrows with a smirk on his face.

"I'm not going." Bao Sheng lowered his head, "I have arrangements."

"Okay, then it's just the three of us. I'll invite a few more buddies, and you can take whomever you want." Lu Dongming didn't force it, "I'll sort it out a little more and send you the itinerary later."

"First do all the work that needs to be done." Yan Yishuai glanced sideways at him, "The photos are waiting to be filed."

"Right away, right away!" Lu Dongming returned to the computer screen.

In the afternoon, Lu Wuchuan handed over the completed case report, and the special case team was finally able to enter a state of clearing the case. The director in charge, Xie Changyu, gave special permission to leave work early and start the holiday.

As soon as the news was announced, Bao Sheng immediately started packing his things and preparing to leave.

Lu Dongming teased: "Baozi, are you in such a hurry to turn the little steel cannon into your own?"

Bao Sheng hurriedly explained: "My shower head has been broken for a few days. I don't have time, so I'll buy one and replace it."

"Stop teasing him all the time," Yan Yishuai waved, "Come, let's study the travel plan."

Jiang Muyang also leaned over, and the three of them had their heads next to each other, looking at the travel route.

Lu Wuchuan walked to Duan Mo and handed her cell phone to her: "Want to go and see it?"

On the screen was the release schedule of a movie, which she casually said she wanted to watch a few days ago.

This is a highly rated foreign horror film with a crime theme and related to the dark web. It is precisely because of this that it aroused her interest.

Lu Wuchuan pointed to the timetable above: "There are few people in the afternoon session, so I will go to eat after watching it."

This suggestion was indeed a good one. Duan Mo didn't think much about it and nodded in agreement: "Okay, just give me a moment. I'll be ready soon."

After putting everything away, Yan Yishuai and others were told to close the doors and windows before leaving, and the two of them went downstairs with Bao Sheng.

The movie theater they went to was on the top floor of a shopping mall. After picking up their tickets, Lu Wuchuan bought a popcorn and cola set and snacks.

Duanmo took the colorful popcorn and said with a smile: "Lu Lie, you also know the must-have package for movies!"

"It's not like I've never been to a movie theater before." Lu Wuchuan looked at the time and said, "Go in, the show will start soon."

There were indeed very few people at the four o'clock screening in the afternoon. The two of them were in the middle and back seat. Looking around, there were less than ten people in the entire screening room.

The movie is ninety minutes long, and the first third is used for various foreshadowings. The main scenes are computer screens and video chats, which give a strong sense of presence.

Different from the horror movies in people's minds, the film handles scary and cruel scenes very sparingly. There are no ghosts in the whole story, and there are no creepy sound effects or bloody pictures. Instead, it uses a sense of realism and immersion to accompany the plot.

Progress invades the heart of the audience with fear.

After all, I have been a criminal police officer for nearly a year and have seen many crime scenes. Although she is nervous, compared to ordinary girls, Duan Mo's behavior is quite calm.

Lu Wuchuan was a little disappointed, so he pinched the dried mango in his pocket, and finally took it out near the end of the film, tore open the seal and handed it to the little girl's hand.

Duanmo subconsciously touched a piece and put it in her mouth. The refreshing taste made her slightly startled. She looked at the things in her hand with the faint light: "Why did you buy this?"

"It is said to activate brain cells and is suitable for eating when watching horror movies."

"Who did you listen to?"

Lu Wuchuan touched his nose: "Lin Fei, he said that dried mango and horror movies are a perfect match."

In fact, what happened was like this. When Yan Linfei was in college, he fell in love with a girl. He invited her out to watch a movie, and the movie she watched was a horror movie. When the girl was scared out of her mind, he fed her a few slices of dried mango.

Then the two got together. Although they broke up after a short period of time, they were pursuing success after all.
