Chapter 1 First Meeting
The sun is rising in the east, and the sun shines through the big poplar trees outside the police station and sprinkles into the house mottledly. It is already morning.

"Ms. Xu, please confirm the specific appearance of the person you witnessed this morning."

After Xu Xing heard this, he withdrew his gaze from the window, scanned the dozens of photos on the table, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

Is this testing the authenticity of her confession?

She lowered her head and slowly sipped her saliva, tapped one of them lightly with her fingertips without hesitation: "This person."

The female police officer who spoke earlier looked serious, nodded and packed up other confusing photos and put them in the folder.

Xu Xing glanced at the clock and narrowed his eyes slightly: "When can I leave?"

"The police will naturally let you go after the inspection."

"That's what you said half an hour ago." Xu Xing picked up the teacup, rubbed the robe between his fingers, and turned slightly: "Then let me change the question, who is the person in that photo that made you pay so much attention to it?"

The policewoman looked at her in embarrassment: "Ms. Xu, we can't disclose it yet..."

Xu Xing leaned back in the chair and let out a long breath. "Even me, the reporter, can't say it? Well, do you send out all the purified water? You can change it for me." She hasn't drank plain water for a long time, and the white sediment in the glass is still clearly visible.

The policewoman also breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the folder and nodded: "Yes."

Strictly speaking, this lady belongs to the enthusiastic masses, and the police have no right to force her to stay.It's just that the director ordered that someone from above be sent over immediately, telling her to keep someone.Fortunately, the informant was easy to talk to.

Xu Xing knocked on the table and stared at the back of the policewoman as she went out.

She's actually not easy to talk to, but today's matter is a bit strange.She reported the crime out of good faith, which was nothing at all, but in the middle of making the record, she caught a glimpse of a stack of photos just printed out by the police, which was exactly the same as the person this morning.She recognized her, but the police suddenly refused to let her go, with a strange and secretive attitude.

If she didn't find out the identity of this person, how could she be interested in going to work?
The policewoman didn't have time to pay attention to what Xu Xing was thinking, and went out to the corridor to fetch water.Just when the paper cup was half full, she saw the director bowing her head and leading the two men over. She straightened up subconsciously: "Hello, director!"

The director nodded, "The reporter..."

"Is the reporter inside?" the leading man asked indifferently.

The policewoman froze for a moment, glanced at the chief who usually hated being interrupted, and replied, "It's inside."

The man nodded.

There was no displeasure on the face of the director whose words were cut off.

This case was unusual. After confirmation, the police station and the reporter immediately checked the monitoring and reported it to the Municipal Public Security Bureau, who said they would send a criminal investigation team over.

They are just a small police station with guns on display. The director originally thought that he would not be able to retire honorably. Who would have thought that the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade was sent here!
The major cases in Lincheng in the past few years have been in charge of Captain Han. With him around, there is no need to worry that this case will become the last stain before his retirement.

Xu Xing was still sitting in the room staring at the pennant boredly, but he was a little tickled by the slightly hoarse, low-quality voice outside, and unconsciously asked for his reputation.

The door was quickly pushed open again, and many people came in.

The leader was a man with black-rimmed glasses, a fair face, and a handsome appearance.

Inexplicably, she felt that it was not this person who spoke just now.

Holding the computer in his hand, he sat across from him and turned it on. After typing a few times on the keyboard, he asked calmly, "Xu Xing?"

"Well, I am." Xu Xing replied casually.

"Around 06:30 this morning, you met a guy in the park with blood on his clothes, right?"

"That's right." Xu Xing said lazily: "He hit me hard, but I didn't even apologize as if nothing happened. I stopped him, and he turned around and stared at me Then I found that the shirt under his coat was wrinkled, with dark red marks, it was blood! The way he looks at people, how should I put it, something is wrong..."

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.An unusually handsome man walked in with his head down flipping through the documents, followed by the policewoman just now.

The policewoman put the paper cup in front of Xu Xing, and went out in silence.

The man didn't make a sound, he just leaned against the wall in a loose posture, looking at the information in his hand.

"Ms. Xu?" Fu Qi reminded softly.

"Oh." Xu Xing came back to his senses, "Where did I just say?"

"You found dark red marks on his body, which are definitely blood. You also think his eyes are not right." Fu Qi smiled and said.

The bureau saw that Han Chen was much more preoccupied, and he had already seen it.

Xu Xing was a little surprised at his gaffe, and quickly reacted, and continued: "There is something wrong with this person, I think it is necessary to come to the police station to let the police confirm his identity. I'm sorry, the police officer, I will at least Repeated three times, so you are here..." She paused, her tone remained the same but she said not very politely: "Wasting my time?"

Fu Qi was taken aback for a moment, and just about to say that this was a routine procedure, a low laugh came from beside him, a little cold, with a touch of sarcasm.He had a bad heart and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Ms. Xu, I'm sorry, we need to confirm..."

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Xingli ignored him, staring at the man by the wall and asked.

The man casually flipped through two pages of information, but didn't answer.

Xu Xing frowned, and said in a slightly serious tone, "I ask, why are you laughing?"

The man looked sideways this time, and Xu Xing's eyes flickered.

The sunlight in the room was scattered finely, as if he disliked the glare of the light, he narrowed his long eyes slightly.Looking at it from this angle, the man's nose bridge is straight, and the profile of his face is a bit too fair, revealing luster, but cold and hard like a sculpture.A black shirt perfectly showed the wide shoulders and narrow waist, with just the right lines.His legs were straight and slender, and he exuded a cold and solemn aura.

He closed the file and walked over. As the distance got closer, Xu Xing was actually a little nervous, but this inexplicable feeling quickly disappeared.The man leaned over slightly, and a cold voice came, with a slight uptick: "Do you think it's a waste of time?"

It was the voice outside before.Xu Xing looked up and noticed his eyes, which were dark, calm, without warmth, full of indifference.
