In an instant, these words were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in Zhang Ke's heart, causing him to turn pale and unable to utter a single word while muttering.
By the way, there is indeed the murderer hanging out at the back door, and compared to the lively snack street, the two are only one corner away——
But he never expected that the place Yuan Mengmeng went to happened to be the quietest and most remote corner - she clearly said that there was a night bus there, so he boldly let her go back alone. After all, there was a bus passing by.
On the road, the murderer would definitely not dare to commit crimes at will.
But why is this happening?
"Bi Yifeng...Bi Yifeng——"
Unknowingly, Zhang Ke kept repeating these words in his mouth. He felt a pain in his heart, as if someone had tightened his grip and then cruelly torn him apart. He wanted to scream loudly but found that he was about to cry without tears.
The heavy sadness, guilt and self-blame were like a dull knife stabbing at his heart. In these reincarnations, he had experienced panic, uneasiness, fear and even the despair of approaching death.
But it was the first time he experienced such deep and sincere sadness. He finally began to truly believe that he and Yuan Mengmeng had indeed had a close relationship.
"...According to the investigation, Yuan Mengmeng seems to have had a romantic relationship with you?"
Ye Suling saw Zhang Ke's originally calm and somewhat old-fashioned face showing an extremely sad expression. She felt that this scene was very strange, so she asked:
"Because the previous murder was too close in time and place, even though you are unlikely to be the direct murderer, it is difficult to completely rule out the motive of your gang. You should know that there is a serial killer incident that has caused a lot of noise recently -
—If that is really not what you said, please cooperate with the police and provide as much evidence as possible so that the murderer can be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible."
Yesulin paused, and his voice became slightly softer: "That's fine... the spirit in heaven that comforts your friend."
Halfway through her words, the door of the interrogation room was suddenly slammed open, and a man as strong as an armored vehicle rushed in with an angry roar.
Zhang Ke raised his head and took a closer look. The man turned out to be the policeman Yuan Chenggang who escorted him in the second reincarnation. Before he had time to realize what was going on, he was directly pressed against the wall with his thick arms.
"Uh...gu..."
His throat was tightly strangled, and Zhang Ke felt that it was extremely difficult to even breathe, and his vision began to become blurry, but even so, he could still clearly see the grief, anger and rage on the other person's face.
"Tell me, how did you harm Mengmeng! Who did you collude with? Why not only did you kill so many people, but you even refused to let her go..."
"I, I didn't..."
Squeezing these words out of his mouth with difficulty had exhausted the oxygen he had finally accumulated, but Zhang Ke's attitude obviously angered Yuan Chenggang even more. He couldn't help but raise his fist and was about to hit the opponent's nose.
.
"Captain Yuan, please stop——"
Suddenly, a slender hand stood between the two of them - it was a pair of crystal white hands, as clean as jade bamboo shoots, but extremely capable and powerful.
Even Yuan Chenggang's group of people who looked like discharged cannonballs were blocked inadvertently by these seemingly tender hands.
"Ye Suling—what do you mean?"
Yuan Chenggang's roar now sounded like the desperate roar of a trapped animal. He did not push the opponent's palm away or attack again.
As a policeman, he naturally understood rationally that he could never use lynching or violence against suspects.
However, from the tears falling from the corners of the strong man's eyes, Zhang Ke already roughly understood what kind of relationship he had with Yuan Mengmeng.
"I also sympathize with what happened to your cousin." Ye Suling said calmly, "But you should also understand that at the first murder scene where Yuan Mengmeng was killed, there were almost no traces of Zhang Ke's crime."
"But a murder also occurred in an apartment building less than a few hundred meters away, and it was almost certainly the fault of this scumbag - if we hadn't gone to the scene to investigate because of Mengmeng's murder and follow the clues to find out what happened to her at night.
The trajectory of his actions finally led to Xu Xiaoli’s home. Maybe we don’t know yet that other people were killed!”
After hearing this, Zhang Ke finally understood why he was arrested by the police so quickly.
It turned out that it was because Yuan Mengmeng died tragically on the street that passers-by noticed her and called the police when it was a little brighter. The police investigated along the way and probably also investigated the Lanzhou Ramen restaurant. They heard that she was last seen with him before her death.
together.
They may have also investigated the security guard, as well as Yuan Mengmeng's family and friends, and knew that she came to Xu Xiaoli last night to accuse her, so they naturally went to the door, but found that the door was locked and they could not reach her by phone.
After forcibly breaking in, they saw the corpse on the ground and the clues left by Zhang Ke, and then they locked onto themselves.
——Although the whole process may be somewhat different from what I guessed, this is probably the logic.
"Team Yuan, Officer Yuan Chenggang, you have lost your mind because of sadness." Ye Suling said, "According to the usual rules, you must avoid cases related to your relatives and friends. Please go back and rest today. I will definitely do this.
We will investigate thoroughly and give your cousin justice."
Hearing Ye Suling's words, Yuan Chenggang had no choice but to let go of his hand, throwing Zhang Ke to the ground, even though he was unwilling to do so. He gave him a hateful look and said, "You're going to go to hell, for sure!"
Taking a big breath of fresh air, his vision, dimmed by suffocation, finally regained its brightness. By the time Zhang Ke returned to his seat and settled down, Yuan Chenggang had already slammed the door and left.
"Well, I'm afraid you now understand that you are inseparable from at least two murder cases." Ye Suling raised his head and said, "And it seems that the two victims have a very close relationship with you, no matter you are
Are you really able to predict the future, or are you just playing tricks on me? Please help me and tell me everything you know."
"...No, I can't continue to stay in this reincarnation."
"ah?"
"No, you have to start over—"
Zhang Ke ignored Ye Suling's question and almost ignored her.
At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was that Yuan Mengmeng was dead, brutally killed by the murderer at the familiar back door.
Even if she continues to stay here, it is impossible for her to recover again. The strong self-blame and heartache continue to bite Zhang Ke's heart, making him feel extremely painful and guilty.
If he wanted to save Yuan Mengmeng's life, he had only one option left.
Abandon this reincarnation and start everything from scratch. This time, he wants to keep Yuan Mengmeng by his side and save her life.
"Zhang Ke, are you listening to me?"
"Officer Ye." Zhang Ke suddenly raised his head, his eyes exuding an almost crazy light, "Can you kill me immediately?"
