Detective Files II

Chapter 25
"Come in and talk." Lu Xiangdong still had doubts about Fu Qiang who came out by himself. After thinking about it, it's inevitable that standing in the corridor has ears behind the walls.

Fu Qiang walked into the door, hesitated for a moment, put the large iron flashlight hidden behind him on the top of the shoe rack by the door, couldn't hide his curious look around, and didn't dare to move around, so he followed Lu Xiangdong step by step. Come to the sofa in the living room together.

"sit down."

Lu Xiangdong took the lead to sit on the sofa, and Tian Mi also took a seat not far from him. Fu Qiang thought about it, and sat down on the side of the chaise longue that was at right angles to the sofa.

"Do you know Qiao Qiong?" Lu Xiangdong asked.

"Who is Qiao Qiong?" Fu Qiang asked incredulously, and then he understood: "Oh! So the girl in this family is named Qiao Qiong! I... don't really know her."

"You don't know her?" This situation caught Lu Xiangdong and Tian Mi by surprise. They both agreed that even if they were not familiar with each other, Fu Qiang at least knew Qiao Qiong, otherwise the following question would not be explained.

"You don't even know Qiao Qiong's name, why did you come here at night?" Tian Mi asked: "Also, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, what is not knowing?"

"I don't know her name, but I know her..." Fu Qiang scratched the back of his head, feeling that what he said seemed a little unclear: "We are neighbors, I live across the street, and the room is just facing her window... So I can often see the situation here from the window... Do you understand what I mean?"

Lu Xiangdong didn't respond, but Tian Mi couldn't help bursting into laughter.

"Are you an otaku?" She unceremoniously revealed Fu Qiang's background.

The redness that had just faded from Fu Qiang's face swept back in an instant, and the color was even thicker, his whole face swelled like a tomato.

"What's wrong with the otaku? Is it breaking the law?" He protested awkwardly: "Don't say it like an otaku is a derogatory term, okay?"

"You, secretly in love with Qiao Qiong?" Tian Mi didn't wait for Fu Qiang to explain, and continued in one breath: "Otherwise, there are so many people living in the gatehouse opposite you, why don't you care about others, but pay attention to Qiao Qiong's situation?"

Fu Qiang rubbed his hands and remained silent, which was a kind of tacit agreement.

After being silent for a while, Lu Xiangdong cleared his throat and asked, "You said just now that you were afraid there might be something wrong. What does 'again' mean?"

"I admit that I usually pay attention to that girl in this house. People, it is inevitable to look at things that are pleasing to the eye." Fu Qiang still seemed a little shy when he said it: "My window is facing this house. I often see her at home by herself. I thought she was single... That day, the day she had an accident, I was playing games at home. Seeing someone pulling the curtains at the opposite window, I was still puzzled at the time, I hadn’t seen her pull the curtains in broad daylight, so I took a few more glances, and then—"

Fu Qiang paused like a joke, and took a deep breath: "I found out that the person pulling the curtains is a man!"

"A man?" Tian Mi's nerves instantly tensed up.

"Yes, man, the girl in this family—what did you call her name just now? Qiao Qiong—she has long hair, and the one who pulled the curtains that day had short hair, so she must be a man. I was still a little Depressed, the goddess in my heart has suddenly become a famous flower with a master, and it would be unpleasant for anyone to change it." Fu Qiang's words rose up, and he accidentally slipped out of his mouth. On the topic: "Who knew that she died in an accident that night... I still feel a little uncomfortable when I think about it, and I don't know if there is any connection between these two things."

But Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong don't have the leisure to ask about his secret love journey now, the information revealed in his words caught their attention.

"When did the incident you mentioned happen?" Tian Mi asked.

"I forgot." Fu Qiang replied.

"Think!"

Fu Qiang was taken aback by Tian Mi's eagerness, and at the same time realized the seriousness of the matter: "Let's think about it, let's think about it...it was around two o'clock in the afternoon, I can't remember exactly."

After speaking, he asked again with lingering fear: "Is it possible that what I saw was a murderer?"

Tian Mi didn't answer his question, but continued to ask: "Did you see a man pull the curtain? Do you remember what he looks like?"

"I don't remember." Fu Qiang shook his head helplessly, and added: "It's not that I don't remember, it's because I didn't see clearly at all. The distance between the buildings is quite large, and during the day, the sun on her side is very bright, so the window There are bright spots on it, it is impossible to see the face clearly, I can tell that it is a man, it is not bad."

Lu Xiangdong frowned, and caught a loophole in his words: "Since you said that the distance between the buildings is large and you can't see people clearly, how do you usually see Qiao Qiong clearly?"

Fu Qiang glanced at Tian Mi beside Lu Xiangdong guiltily, and said, "Binoculars."

"You should have some impression of the other party's general characteristics, right?"

"I'll think about it, I'll think about it." Fu Qiang frowned, tried hard to recall for a while, and said reluctantly: "Medium height, maybe not as tall as me, neither fat nor thin, wearing dark clothes clothes."

"Any more specific details?"

Fu Qiang shook his head.

"Then what are you doing here tonight?"

"I didn't know that you were the police. I just thought about it. Something happened to the owner of this house. The light suddenly turned on in the house, and there was a man pulling the curtain by the window. What if something happened!" was asked This, Fu Qiang looked like he would draw his sword to help when he saw injustice.

"Qiao Qiong has a boyfriend. If you are so vigilant, why don't you call the police? Are you afraid that you will be caught if you fail to catch the thief?" Tian Mi disagreed with Fu Qiang's recklessness.

"I have self-defense weapons!" Fu Qiang pointed to the large metal flashlight on the shoe cabinet.

"Blind self-confidence! In the future, it is best to ask the police for help, don't be a hero yourself!"

Fu Qiang nodded in trepidation.

There is nothing more to ask, and the three leave Jojoon's house.

For the sake of safety, Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong sent Fu Qiang to the door of his unit. Tian Mi and him exchanged contact information, and Fu Qiang looked back frequently when they parted.

"Congratulations." Lu Xiangdong said with a tone of watching the excitement and not being afraid of troubles: "After Qiao Qiong was killed, you succeeded her as the new goddess of this otaku."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tian Mi gave him a white look.

"He was very obvious just now."

"Dr. Lu, I didn't even know you had such an innocent side!" Tian Mi seemed to have discovered a new world.

"I just kindly remind you that being a goddess is risky."

"Crow's mouth!" Tian Mi gave the crow's mouth a hard look: "Leave, go home!"
