No one could see the devil hidden in the crowd, but the devil was hiding in it, camouflaging himself with a human appearance and covering up his evil face with a human smile. He succeeded. He completely blended into the crowd and never wanted to leave.
.
The man was smiling at the surveillance camera, holding a bloody knife in his hand, and made a slitting motion on his neck. The surveillance content of just ten seconds was enough for them to quickly find the person who killed Duke's mother.
murderer.
This person, his name is Sha Diao.
"Is that the security guard of the student apartment?"
Liszt couldn't believe his eyes, he didn't expect it was really him.
An Nan looked through this person's information and found clues.
She asked Paz to search the address in the information, and the results showed that the address was in the East District.
"East End Freight Terminal?"
An Nan and Liszt were sent to the Eastern District to investigate. After getting in touch with the Eastern District Bureau, they also sent two investigators to go to the cargo terminal with An Nan and the others.
As soon as I got off the bus, I saw two women wearing DSIB uniforms standing inside the guardrail of the pier. They had the same face. One looked very strong and domineering, while the other looked very weak, as if she could fall over with a blow.
"East Side twin sisters?"
"Southern District Investigator?"
Liszt knew their names but was deliberately rude, and the Su sisters were no longer polite.
The four of them greeted each other, but kicked Liszt aside.
"Hey, after all, I am the only man among us. If there is danger inside, I can protect you! Don't go, wait for me!"
Su Shiding told An Nan the results of their investigation yesterday afternoon. The terminal manager's name is Malay, who is the general manager of the East District Malay Trading Company. One-sixth of Beijing's overseas transportation passes through his terminal.
The four people first visited the residents near the pier and found nothing. Then they came to the Malay Trading Building.
When they walked into the lobby, they were greeted by the front desk service robot. They pushed the robot away and went straight to the human service desk to show the investigating employee's testimony.
"Please inform Mr. Ma that DSIB has requested his assistance in handling the case."
"Ok. Please wait for a moment."
The front desk conveyed the news to Malay and asked someone to take the four of them to the office.
Ma Lai was processing documents. When he saw them coming in, he didn't stand up to welcome them. He just said calmly: "Please sit down. If you have anything to do, please hurry up. I have to rush out to discuss business later."
"It won't take you long."
An Nan sat on the sofa, stared at Ma Lai who was reviewing the documents, and informed him of his purpose.
"We are looking for someone who has worked for you before. His name is Sha Diao, and his nickname is Brother Diao."
"Looking for someone?" Ma Lai seemed a little disdainful, "Why didn't we explain it clearly yesterday? Besides, it shouldn't be that difficult for DSIB to find someone, right?"
Liszt poured himself a cup of tea, drank it, and said: "This person's resume has the name of your company, and his position seems to be the director of HR. This matter can only be investigated in your company now."
Ma Lai put down the document, clasped his hands and thought for a while, "Sha Diao... this name is so special, it should be easy to remember, but I really don't remember it. Let me check it for you."
He called the current human resources director to check on a past volunteer in the company named Sha Diao, and sure enough he found it.
"Don't tell me, there really is such a person, but he resigned three years ago."
"Please resign?"
An Nan didn't understand why he left a good company executive to work as an apartment security guard. There was obviously something wrong with him.
"He took the initiative to resign. I had not taken office at that time, so I didn't know this person." Ma Lai's serious look seemed quite normal. He glanced at the time on his computer and found that the time was almost up.
"Hey, unfortunately, my time is almost up. How about I notify HR and you guys go find out on your own?"
An Nan stood up and replied with a smile: "Then I won't disturb your time. Let's go to the human resources department to find out."
The moment Liszt stood up, he saw a white box on his desk with a syringe pattern printed on it. Malay subconsciously covered the box with documents.
He called the Human Resources Department and told them that DSIB was investigating the case and asked them to cooperate fully. The four people were thrown to the Human Resources Department by Ma Lai, and he left in a hurry.
Liszt watched him enter the elevator and complained: "Sure enough, people with high authority look down on people. This kind of person should lose control of the elevator and fall to his death."
"Sooner or later." Su Shiding said impatiently. Unfortunately, Liszt was the kind of person who wanted to get to the bottom of things, especially with strange women. He liked to ask questions about this and that.
"What happens sooner or later? Are you talking about him?"
Su Shiding glared at him fiercely, and Liszt continued to ask as if he hadn't seen it: "Hey... do you know something? Please tell me?"
"I don't know, get out of here!"
"Hey, I have no grudge against you, why would you treat me like this?"
He didn't know why. Su Shiding's attitude towards him was not like this before. Why did he suddenly become a different person this time when they met?
Duke stared at his parents' wedding photos in a daze, and the details of his past life with his mother were playing in his mind. Although this case had been handed over to the police, DSIB did not stand idly by, so it sent Annan and Liszt
Go to the East District to investigate.
He held the cipher box in his hand, and various mysteries clouded his mind, as if he was walking in an endless foggy forest, turning around and still unable to find the exit.
I don’t know why, but there are always a few scenes in his memory that really concern him. They appear more frequently than others, and it’s hard for him not to pay attention to them. It’s as if these scenes are deeply imprinted in his subconscious.
, even if they are placed together with other memories, their weight can be increased enough for him to notice these pictures naturally and inadvertently.
However, he still didn't know what the difference was between these memories that deliberately attracted his attention. They were ordinary and ordinary, strange and strange. This feeling of being caught in a balance between the two made him very conflicted and entangled.
Last night, memories from childhood to adulthood were spinning in his mind like a revolving lantern, and the thick dark circles under his eyes made him look very haggard.
Ji Xianfeng stood at the door and didn't go in. He understood Duke's current mood very well. When his parents were killed by criminals, his appearance was exactly the same as Duke's now.
The cigarette in his hand was almost finished, and several cigarette butts were thrown away at his feet. He threw away the cigarette butts and was about to leave when Duke suddenly called out to him.
"Senior, do you have anything to do with me?"
Ji Xianfeng breathed a sigh of relief, now it seemed that Duke was not as fragile as he thought.
"When did you find me outside?"
Duke put the cipher box back in the drawer, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples, saying: "The door is not closed tightly. Senior must have been smoking a lot outside."
Ji Xianfeng smiled faintly. Unexpectedly, it was the smell of cigarette smoke that made him breathe a sigh of relief, allowing him to enter Duke's inner world when he was in the most pain.
Seeing Duke's haggard face, he said something like this in his heart: "I... This doesn't count as taking advantage of the situation, right?"
