him under the stars

Chapter 59 Willful

"other……"

"Nothing else." Knowing what Bureau Du wanted to ask, Han Chen handed over the remaining thirteen photos.

Director Du took it and quickly read it.Sure enough, as he said, the roses placed on the other victims had different numbers of stems and thorns, and even different lengths.He compared the two photos that Han Chen put on his desk at first, and they were exactly the same.

Even for Gao Xuan himself, it is impossible to achieve such unanimity.

He put down the photo, scratched something on the face, and said: "No wonder you have defined the nature of the case as a copycat crime from the very beginning, and only you can notice such things, but..."

The murderer is the family member of the victim of the Gao Xuan case. It is not surprising that he has seen the corpse and knows the details of the crime.But such a subtle thing, no matter how impressive he is, it is impossible to reproduce it without mistakes, unless he has this photo in his hand for comparison.

It's just...the photos taken at the scene and all other original materials have been properly kept. Outsiders will never get this photo of Huang Jiajia.

"There is an accomplice in this case, and it's our own!" Director Du looked sternly.

Han Chen leaned against the edge of the table, turned his body slightly, and said in a calm voice: "Not only that, but this is a powerful person. On the one hand, he used the police to find Gao Xuan, and on the other hand, he solved Ji Ling for some reason. He hid himself behind, even if the police finally find out that it was a copycat crime, it will stop there if they find Huang Haisheng on his head."

If he hadn't known Ji Ling and sent someone to protect him, and if it wasn't for details like the thorn, he might not have realized that there was something else behind the case.

"The case you're handling is becoming more and more complicated and weird." Director Du said after a while, "According to what you said, the forces involved in Gao Xuan are also looking for him, and they want to rely on the police. That nail in the bureau went ahead of us?"

Han Chen was silent for a while.

This case gave him the same feeling as the previous orphanage case.There is a pair of hands pushing everything invisibly, wanting to expose some shady things to him in a secret way.

There is no trace and no basis.But he has already confirmed that there is a person who has been hiding in the deeper darkness.It seems that everyone is a chess piece that he can control, and he only needs to do a little thing to influence the whole chess game.

Even he, Han Chen, was being used.

But even if he was aware of it, he still had to follow his wishes to pursue it.

Did the person who gave the photo imitate the case better, or did he think he could see the clues?But in this way, it is equivalent to exposing that there is an insider in the police station in disguise.

Is he too confident, or does he have some other purpose?

Han Chen didn't speak for a while, and Director Du felt his mind was confused, and said in a very serious voice, "No matter what the purpose is, this nail must be pulled out as soon as possible, and go to investigate!"

"I said, I came to you to ask for help." Han Chen glanced at him, and refused without even the slightest hesitation: "So you come to check, I need permission to check more important things."

"Permission?" Du Ju was slightly startled: "What permission?"

"Privilege to enter the intranet." Under the quiet light, Han Chen said slowly.

Director Du was silent for a while.

He was not in a hurry, just waiting.

"You boy..." Director Du still cursed, but his voice was different from usual, and he reprimanded very softly: "You dare to mention this, who gave you the courage?"

"Oh." Han Chen said lightly, "It was probably given by the fifteen innocent girls who died in vain in front of you."

What he said was loose and wanton, but Du Ju knew that he was serious.

If he doesn't give it, the kid will get permission through other means.Only then, he might also pay the price for it.He is forcing him.

Director Du twisted a cigarette and put it to his mouth until it was almost burnt out, then said in a calm voice, "Okay!"

"I'll give you permission!"

The night was deep and quiet, a little chilly.

Shi Xiaojin sat on the ground outside the door, not too cold, with his legs propped up casually, and his hands resting on top, when he heard the sound of the elevator door opening and looked over, the disappointment and self-blame on his face had not faded away, and he hurriedly stood up , He hesitated for a while, and called out: "Boss."

Han Chen glanced at her and asked, "Why are you outside?"

Shi Xiaojin's eyes turned red.She thought that if she made such a big mess, the boss would turn a blind eye to her.

She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "Miss Xiao Xing has friends inside, I'm afraid I'll keep swaying in front of her, she'll be upset."

Han Chen remained silent for a few seconds, then raised his hand and rubbed Shi Xiaojin's head.Seeing her mouth open in disbelief, she retracted lightly.

"Xiao Jin." His voice seemed to come from far away: "The police are very hard. Work is work, and feelings are feelings. When you can separate the two, you will be a qualified policeman. At that time, when you look back at yourself today, it’s silly, but it’s also precious. It’s getting late, go back.”

Shi Xiaojin remained motionless.

She sat outside, thinking wildly for a long time.Thinking of Xu Zhang, with him around, he will definitely be able to think of a remedy.Miss Han Chen.Thinking about how he will punish her when he comes, and whether he is willing to punish her.

Unexpectedly, he didn't even have a word of reproach.

Shi Xiaojin suppressed tears and wanted to say something, Han Chen also waited quietly for her.But she held back for a while, becoming more and more nervous, and suddenly said something irrelevant: "Boss, how can people get rid of original sin?"

Before Han Chen asked, she chattered as if she had found a breakthrough: "Miss Xiaoxing left the scene today without saying anything. She sat at the gate of an elementary school for a long time, until that Gu Cen came, and she didn't say anything." I asked this sentence, and... only said this sentence."

"Yeah." Han Chen stood there for a moment, then answered with dark eyes, picked up the card and opened the door: "Remember to tell me when you get home safely."

Shi Xiaojin said "Hey" and ran to the elevator.

While waiting for the elevator, he glanced sideways, then quickly retracted his gaze, and touched the place where the boss had rubbed him.

inside the door.

Han Chen walked in and ran into Gu Cen, who was holding a garbage bag and knotted it in his hand. His fingers were slender, and the knots were neatly tied.

Seeing Han Chen, he smiled slightly and got up: "Since you're here, I won't stay any longer."

As he said, he picked up the bag and was about to pass Han Chen.

Han Chen glanced at the drying rack, passed by, and said lightly, "I won't bother you about such trivial things as washing socks in the future, after all, it's the hands of the surgeon."

Gu Cen paused slightly, and smiled: "I can't talk about trouble, I'm just afraid that my hand will be born, and when you have no reason to stay, if you can't wash it clean, Xiao Xing will definitely throw it away."

"Oh." Han Chen snorted lightly, and said, "So you have never been curious about my identity from the very beginning, and you never inquired about it. Is it also because of this reason?"

"Officer Han Chen, I know you." Gu Cen gave him a sideways look, and walked away: "We have seen the campus kidnapping case two years ago. You have handled too many cases, and you probably have forgotten it."

He closed the door behind his back, carried the garbage to the slot, and the black bag fell without a trace. He still stood there until the phone rang before he moved.

"Doctor Gu, a seriously injured patient was sent to the emergency department. The operation was very difficult. The director asked you to come back..."

Gu Cen turned his head sideways, looked at the closed door, and said in a low voice after a while, "Okay, let's go."

inside the house.

Han Chen's eyes stayed on the door for a moment, then turned and walked in.

In the quiet space, only a female voice sounded out of season.

"Xiao Xing, I'll go over tomorrow, prepare my favorite food!"

"Xiao Xing, let me tell you something, I'm in a relationship hahaha, make time to meet your brother-in-law."

"Xiaoxing, lend me your glutinous rice for two days."

"..."

Xu Xing sat on the sofa, tapped with his fingertips, and continued to press a voice message, while listening, he lifted the wine bottle.

Several wine bottles were already placed on the ground, and the rest of the house was as clean as new, except for her feet, which Gu Cen did not tidy up.

Ji Ling's voice still sounded, Han Chen approached slowly, squatted down, picked up the wine bottle and put it aside.

Xu Xing was barefooted, swaying casually, the wine bottle was at her feet, when Han Chen put his hand on it, she kicked it away.

"What are you doing here?" Xu Xing looked down at him, with a drunken voice, "Come and tell me that the murderer has been found? Or can't tell because of various considerations?"

Han Chen lowered his eyes, held her ankle, and took the house shoes aside for her to put on.

Xu Xing struggled back, but did not move.Suddenly, the wine bottle fell, grabbed Han Chen by the throat and pressed him on the sofa, shouting: "Speak! Speak!"

Han Chen looked at her calmly, his neck was pinched hard, but he didn't even frown.

Xu Xing suddenly lost his strength, tears fell on his face one by one, and he was taken aback for a while before withdrawing his hand.

On Han Chen's fair neck, the red marks on his five fingers were clearly visible.He tilted his head slightly, without making a sound.

Xu Xing smiled, and staggered down from him, "Go, don't appear in front of me again... Ah!"

Before she finished speaking, the world suddenly turned upside down in front of her eyes. Han Chen pulled her wrist and turned over to press her up, his dark eyes were full of undisguised sullenness.

"Xu Xing." He said in a low voice, "What am I to you?"

Xu Xing stared blankly at the ceiling, tears streaming down his temples into his hair.

Han Chen's grip on her wrist became tighter, and after a while, he got up.

Without him pressing on it, Xu Xing curled up sideways facing the back of the sofa.One corner of the clothes was pressed tightly, showing a slightly raised spine, trembling slightly.

Han Chen looked at it for a while, then exhaled heavily, picked up the blanket on the backrest and wrapped it up, with a little force, he picked her up and walked to the bedroom.

Even if he was hugged, Xu Xing never raised his head to look at Han Chen, until he was put on the bed, leaning against his hard chest behind him, and the strength of his circle around him became tighter and tighter, so he struggled uncomfortably. As soon as he turned his head, he was pushed hard against it.

"Hmm..." Xu Xing struggled backwards, but was suddenly taken aback.

There is no light in the bedroom, only the faintest light from the living room.The force on the lips seemed to be as heavy as crushing her, and warm liquid dripped onto the face.

She raised her hand slowly and was held when it touched Han Chen's cheek.

Han Chen raised his body slightly, the corners of his lips were moist, against the light, and his expression was blurred: "Ji Ling's death, everyone's death, I will give an explanation. But before that, I also want to be self-willed once."
