The next second, Zhao Le's expression changed slightly.
Although he didn't know why Chen Mingming was able to appear in this place, he knew that every next step was crucial. If he made one wrong move, he would lose everything... Zhao Le looked away from behind Chen Mingming. All he saw was the responsible person.
The police officer guarding the detention room stood guard a few steps away.
He wasn't sure if there was anyone else outside the door.
Maybe... the police knew that Chen Mingming was his classmate, so they asked him to come over.
Zhao Le breathed out lightly, sat sideways on the single bed connected to the wall, and said quietly: "Betrayal? Just say so... If I don't say anything, it will only be more detrimental to myself. Even if I keep insisting
Silence, this case will not stagnate. The longer the time drags on, it is no less torment for me. You should know that I still have to take care of my sister... I can't let it drag on forever.
If the case is not solved, the police will probably apply to extend the detention time, right? I... have no choice."
Chen Mingming had been observing Zhao Le's subtle expressions and movements. He was silent for a moment and then suddenly asked: "Wang Liang, was it really Mr. Bai Kong who killed him?"
Zhao Le said: "It should be so."
"Should?" Chen Mingming frowned.
Zhao Ledao: "Wang Liang was indeed dead when I arrived."
Chen Mingming said calmly: "But you also said that you have never seen Mr. Bai Kong. So, even if you go to the scene, you are still staggered... That means that whether it is Mr. Bai Kong or yourself, there is
Suspected of killing Wang Liang."
Zhao Le frowned, "You should have read the content of the exchange between me and Mr. Blank."
Chen Mingming said calmly: "But in fact, there were only the exchanges before and after the incident... and there was no exchange between you during the incident. So, from the time you went to Wang Liang's rental house to the time you started discussing the follow-up treatment online,
Before planning, there is a real blank.”
Zhao Le whispered: "The truth is what I said."
Chen Mingming took a deep look at Zhao Le, "I can think of this, and the police can also think of this... If you can't come up with real evidence to prove that you are just an accomplice, it will be a bigger problem for you.
unfavorable."
Zhao Le lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then slowly said: "Obviously...if the police asked you to come, forget it. I have nothing to say. Wang Liang was indeed dead before I arrived...but what happened to him?"
How he died, I really don’t know. I can only guess that Wang Liang was probably killed by Mr. Blank. I have already said what needs to be said... The content of the exchanges between Mr. and I on the forum are also all
It’s absolutely true. How to judge, I can only leave it to fate.”
Chen Mingming suddenly asked: "Do you think Mr. Baibai will know and you will stand up and testify against him?"
Zhao Le's eyes suddenly became complicated and he whispered: "What it said...should be guessable. So if the police want to catch it, it's best to hurry up."
Chen Mingming knew that if he continued to ask questions at this time, there wouldn't be much useful information. Unless he directly revealed his identity as Mr. Blank here, would Zhao Le believe it?
He was already very sure that he had been manipulated by the shop owner and had forgotten this part of his memory... He himself had forgotten it, so naturally there was no way to prove it in front of Zhao Le.
"Take good care of yourself." Chen Mingming's face darkened, and he turned and left.
"Thank you for coming to see me. You will be going abroad tomorrow...perhaps this is the last time we see each other..."
Chen Mingming didn't stop walking. When he passed by the guarding police officer, he just nodded slightly.
…
It's like facing the last high-scoring argument question in an exam paper, and you only have three minutes left.
In the tea room, Chen Mingming held a spoon and slowly stirred the coffee in the cup for quite a while.
"Mingming, why are you here?" Zhou Yusheng walked in. Seeing Chen Mingming's absent-minded look, he couldn't help but curiously asked: "What are you thinking about?"
"The case." Chen Mingming forced a smile.
"What do you think is suspicious?" Zhou Yusheng put his hands on the table and asked Chen Mingming.
Chen Mingming frowned and said: "Based on Zhao Le's confession and the content of the conversation, we still don't know what happened before and after Wang Liang's death. Who is the murderer... Fortunately, we can't confirm it for the time being."
Zhou Yusheng said: "Do you think Zhao Le is more suspicious?"
Chen Mingming said matter-of-factly: "Witnesses only saw Zhao Le... Unless someone else saw Mr. Blank. Otherwise, Mr. Blank is just a bunch of data existing on the Internet. For the time being, Mr. Blank's existence can only be regarded as virtual.
"
Zhou Yusheng frowned and said: "This Mr. Blank is probably not a fiction. After all, in addition to the conversation at the time of the crime, we can also go forward for more than a year and find the content of his connection with Zhao Le. But you
You are right. In the few hours before and after the incident, not much was mentioned in the exchanges, so this is a blind spot of information. In fact, there is still another doubt..."
Chen Mingming said: "You mean, the missing part of Wang Liang's body?"
Zhou Yusheng nodded, "I studied it with Lao Ma just now, and we both thought this approach was very strange."
"What do you think?" Chen Mingming asked directly.
Zhou Yusheng said: "We think that if we follow what Zhao Le said, if Mr. Blank really wants to challenge the police, it has already done it. There is no need to take away part of the body... From the remaining bodies, we
It almost even comes down to the cause of death. But actually, when it comes to this part of the matter, judging from the level of handling at the scene, even if the cause of death is known, it may not be of much help."
"So the cause of death might reveal something?" Chen Mingming pondered.
Zhou Yusheng nodded: "We all feel that the murderer wants to hide something... However, this case may really require a long-term battle. Unless Mr. Blank is also arrested, we still have no clue what the next step will be.
. During this period, probably all I can do is ask Zhao Le repeatedly."
A long-term battle... maybe for the police, but for Chen Mingming himself, he only had 24 hours left for the assessment.
After 24 hours, he has no idea whether everything will return to the state it was a few days ago or whether it is something else... All he can think of at this time is that after 24 hours, he may not be able to use the police as a police officer anymore. His identity as a member appears openly and openly, and at the same time, his identity as Mr. Blank may soon be exposed.
However, once this happens, will he directly restore his memory as Blank Lord...the truth will emerge directly.
Chen Mingming even thought of another possibility, that is, once the assessment time has passed, his memory will only be until before the assessment, and the memory of these few days will be erased at the same time... Then he will take tomorrow's flight to go abroad.
If we follow this line of thinking, once he successfully leaves the country, even if his identity as Mr. Blank is finally confirmed, it will be significantly more difficult for the police to track down the murderer.
Wait... If the power outage hadn't led to the exposure of the body, the discovery of the body might have been delayed for a longer period of time. By then, both the witnesses and the boss of the maintenance department would have figured out the matter. They have completely forgotten...all traces will truly disappear. As for Zhao Le, naturally he will not come out and surrender on his own.
From a certain perspective, this crime can be considered a success.
"Get off work. If you haven't been back for two nights, your mother will scold me to death."
Zhou Yusheng's words interrupted Chen Mingming's thinking. In a brief moment of astonishment, Chen Mingming nodded... Perhaps, after tonight, there will no longer be this home, right?
"Let's go to West Street for a walk." Chen Mingming said suddenly when he walked out of the door.
"West Street? Why?" Zhou Yusheng asked in confusion.
Chen Mingming smiled and said, "Mom likes to eat the casserole porridge from the night market over there, have you forgotten?"
"That's the case..." Zhou Yusheng nodded, "You're so thoughtful. If you don't coax me at night, my head will definitely not be quiet all night."
The car slowly drove out of the parking lot. Chen Mingming looked at the place gradually going away, and suddenly felt that the past few days had passed very long and at the same time very quickly.
…
Later in the evening, Nan Xiaonan said hello to Xiaobao, picked up her things and left the office.
However, she did not leave the station immediately, but quietly came to the detention room.
Her identity as a forensic doctor did not allow her to contact the suspect directly, so she tried to use other methods... but she needed to be more careful.
Zhao Le has actually been locked up, and the case may come to light soon... But Nan Xiaonan is not a character who only does half of things.
Zhao Le's confession is not completely credible...then just let him spit out what he really wants to say.
In fact, she knew in her heart that without her cheating this time, the case would not have developed to this point quickly... But now that it has developed to this point, it wouldn't matter if it was faster.
Her fingers drew a magic seal in the air... In addition to being the Holy Guide of Star Creation, she is also a master of arcane magic.
He flicked his finger on the curse mark in the air, and the curse mark began to disappear in an instant... Nan Xiaonan smiled slightly.
But suddenly a terrifying thing made her smile stiffen... The half-dissipated curse mark was reunited bit by bit in front of her.
The hair all over Nan Xiaonan suddenly stood up, as if she had encountered a natural enemy, and her whole body tensed up in an instant... She turned around instantly, and something that made her hair stand on end came from behind her.
"Luo, Mr. Luo!"
"Ms. Nan, it's time to get off work, why don't you leave?"
Nan Xiaonan was startled at first... Her mind habitually entered a state of acceleration. However, this state had just started, and a dizzy feeling suddenly made her step steadily, and she leaned directly on the wall.
She couldn't help but sigh secretly. In the past two days, her mind had accelerated too many times, and her body had already been unable to bear it.
It was just that a warm current suddenly poured into her body from her limbs, which relieved her feeling of extreme fatigue... and her state was probably restored to the level it was ten seconds ago.
Nan Xiaonan blinked and asked with some anxiety: "Mr. Luo, does this case have something to do with you...?"
"It does have something to do with it." Luo Qiu nodded, not deliberately hiding anything.
Nan Xiaonan was a little confused... She couldn't understand how such a powerful person could be related to such a murder case among ordinary people.
Suddenly, Nan Xiaonan was shocked. Her spell had just been blocked, and her spell was to make Zhao Le spit out the truth. So, Luo Qiu was on Zhao Le's side?
Then she used the Star Creation creature to get Zhao Le back, wouldn't it...
"I...I don't know." Nan Xiaonan's anxiety became even more intense.
"It doesn't matter, this seems to be more effective." Luo Qiu smiled casually.
She was stunned and didn't understand what this so-called effect meant, but she no longer dared to ask any more questions about this matter. She even planned to ignore it at this moment... Since her technique had just been
It seemed that the other party was planning to prevent her from intervening further.
"I'll take another day off tomorrow." Nan Xiaonan said seriously.
Luo Qiu said without comment: "Miss Nan, do you have anywhere else to go?"
"No more." Nan Xiaonan shook her head, "I still plan to continue writing what you want tonight."
Luo Qiu nodded, stretched out his hand to make an invitation gesture, "Then let's come together, I want to go back now."
Nan Xiaonan hesitated for a moment, but finally took a bite and mustered up the courage to approach Luo Qiu... The moment she stepped into Luo Qiu's side, everything in front of her quickly receded, and then quickly replaced with a new environment.
We have arrived in front of Luo Qiu's house.
…
…
Because I went around West Street and came back, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening when I got home.
The lights in the living room were turned off, but a lamp was turned on in front of the sofa.
When Zhou Yusheng gently opened the door and walked in, he saw his wife leaning on the side of the sofa, putting on her glasses, holding a photo album in her hand and looking at it.
"We're back." The wife quickly put down the photo album and took away the blanket covering her body. "I made some soup to heat up for you."
Because he was afraid of worrying his mother, when he came back, Chen Mingming asked Zhou Yusheng not to talk about his hospitalization.
Zhou Yusheng thought that low blood sugar was not a serious matter, so he agreed after thinking for a while.
"Here, you have something to eat." Zhou Yusheng lifted the box in his hand at this time.
This is my wife's favorite food.
"looking at what?"
Chen Mingming asked his mother to sit down, and he sat next to her. Zhou Yusheng also sat down with him, and the family of three crowded on the two-seater sofa.
"Look at what you looked like when you were a child."
When performing in kindergarten, when reciting in elementary school.
During sports meets, when traveling.
On birthdays, on New Year's Eve.
As the photo album was flipped through the pages, his wife gradually fell asleep and leaned on Zhou Yusheng's shoulder. He also fell asleep from exhaustion, hugging his wife.
Chen Mingming tried his best to move as gently as possible, took a blanket and covered the two of them.
He stared for a moment, finally turned off the desk lamp, and then walked out.
More than half an hour later, Chen Mingming returned to his other home... This was the place that his mother originally bought after his mother divorced his father.
In a few days, many places in the house were stained with dust... Chen Mingming remained silent, returned to his room, and turned on the computer.
"If it was really me, what should be left behind..." Chen Mingming took a deep breath and opened the folders on the computer one by one, "Intelligence, I need more information."
He suddenly felt that he was the trapped person on the cliff, grabbing a sapling with a poisonous snake hovering on it.
