Chapter 45 Patricide
There was a sound of footsteps.

Lu Xiaoxue pulled him and ran very fast. After they walked out of the store and turned, they ran directly up to the third floor platform from the stairs outside the wall.

Then he walked into a doorway without stopping, and the dim corridor plunged his eyes into darkness in an instant.

However, Lu Xiaoxue seemed to be very familiar with the terrain here, and even the sudden changes in light and darkness did not slow her down.

The two of them turned left and right in the dimly lit corridor.

The corridor was cold and depressing, and I could hardly see the steps beneath my feet, which blended into the black.

Li Qingfeng was dragged forward by the force. Fortunately, after his cultivation, he had great body skills, otherwise he would have really fallen.

I don’t know why this corridor was designed to be as complicated as a maze. After wandering around for a while, I don’t know where I am anymore.

After walking for more than a minute, Lu Xiaoxue, who had been leading the way, finally stopped.

The other party remained silent along the way, and no one knew what he was thinking, so Li Qingfeng did not ask him rashly.

I can feel that the other person's emotions are very unstable right now. I'm afraid it's not a trivial matter. It's better to understand it clearly first.

Just like that, the two of them were silent with each other in the dim corridor.

Suddenly, the girl's clear voice broke the silence.

"Li Qingfeng, you are a police officer now, right?"

"Ah."

When the other party suddenly asked this question, Li Qingfeng didn't say anything more, but just nodded in affirmation.

When Lu Xiaoxue heard him confirm his identity again, she felt as if she had suddenly let go of something and felt relieved.

Through the dim light, you can see that the girl's originally depressed expression has turned into a look of relief and relaxation.

"Li Qingfeng, arrest me, I killed someone..."

Seeing the other party's expression of being willing to sacrifice himself, Li Qingfeng did not make any move, but just asked calmly.

"Who did you kill? And why?"

Seeing that he didn't take out handcuffs to grab her, Lu Xiaoxue looked hesitant, but finally gritted her teeth.

He took him to the door on the side and then took out a key from his pocket.

The key was inserted into the lock, and as it turned, the old-fashioned security door made a "click" sound and the door slowly opened.

Before he even entered, Li Qingfeng felt something strange. There was a faint smell of blood coming out as the door opened.

He frowned and followed the girl into the room.

I saw her groping on the wall for a while, and with a "click", the switch turned on, and the not-so-bright energy-saving lamp lit up.

Only then could I see the layout of the house clearly.

Old furniture, mottled walls, and small rooms.
The entire house looked like it was less than 40 square meters, with only a small window on the north side, through which a few faint rays of sunlight came in.

In the corner of the house, it was surrounded by wooden boards and curtains, making it look like a bed was separated out where there was not enough room for sleeping.

Apart from the small bathroom, there is a faded wooden door on the wall near the window.

It looks like that was the original planned location for the bedrooms in the house.

After seeing everything in front of him, Li Qingfeng finally had a clear understanding of the "poor economic conditions" mentioned in the file.

Lu Xiaoxue, who was standing by, saw him looking around without showing any embarrassment or shame, as if she had expected it.

She even spoke in a light tone, pointed to the small room separated by the corner of the wall, and introduced it to him.

"That's where my grandma and I slept. It was very crowded. Mom and Dad lived in the bedroom. But after Mom passed away, Dad lived there alone..."

As she spoke, Li Qingfeng followed her line of sight to the wooden door, raised his hand and slowly pushed it open.

A strong smell of blood mixed with the stench of decay hit him in the face, making him cover his mouth and nose involuntarily.

With the door fully opened, the light from the living room shone into the small bedroom. Inside, one could see a double bed and some simple chairs and wooden cabinets.

And on the ground near the door, a somewhat decayed male corpse was lying on his back.

He looked to be in his fifties or sixties, with sparse hair and a thin face.

The foul smell in the house came from him.

As for the fatal wound on the man's body, it was from a fruit knife stuck in his chest.

At this time, Lu Xiaoxue also walked in silently and finally stood beside Li Qingfeng.

He spoke in a somewhat suppressed tone.

"This is my father. He disappeared for a few months. The day before yesterday, he suddenly came back and called me into the room and told me that he had sold me to the casino..."

“…I didn’t want to go, so he pounced on me and tried to catch me. Then I stabbed him in the chest with the knife I had hidden on my body.”

Perhaps because she felt it didn't matter anymore, the girl spoke more and more fluently and naturally.

"I've wanted to do this for a long time! He beats up mom, bullies grandma, and beats me too."

"The day you saved me, I made up my mind. Since I've already been charged with murder, I'm not afraid of taking on another one..."

She stopped talking and turned to look at the boy next to her who was only a few years older than her.

"...Li Qingfeng, you are a good person. Do you think I did anything wrong?"

After hearing this experience, Li Qingfeng's expression did not change much, and he expressed his thoughts directly without any hesitation.

"you are right."

"Don't worry, you did nothing wrong. He deserves to die. I'll take care of this matter."

As he said that, he walked towards the corpse. It had already begun to rot, and there were some dragging marks on the ground nearby.

Apparently the girl also tried to carry and hide the body, but she must have failed because of her frail figure.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Li Qingfeng was a little troubled. It was obviously impossible for such a big person to hide.

Besides, I am a police officer now, so maybe I can use other methods to reduce a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, he took out his cell phone and called Xiao Li, the number he had requested to add several times when he was in the car.

Along with the sound of the phone being dialed, the other end quickly picked up the phone.

"Master Li? What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

I could tell that the other party was very confused. I didn't expect that he would call me at this time.

Li Qingfeng ignored his strange reaction and gave orders directly.

"Get ready and come to my place. I have something to take care of. The location is the residence of this target."

After giving the order and hearing the response from the other end, he hung up the phone. Then he thought of something and turned around to say something to comfort the other person.

"Don't be afraid. The wicked deserve to die. You won't go to jail for killing them."

"…Um."

At this moment, Lu Xiaoxue's expression was very complicated, just like that day in the alley. She didn't know what to say and could only nod slightly.

The room quickly fell silent.

However, the police officers at the headquarters were indeed well-trained, and all the team members arrived within two minutes.

However, it was obvious that Xiao Li, who had just been transferred to the post, was much less physically fit. Among a group of people who came in, he was the only one who was leaning on his knees and gasping for breath.

"Hoo... Li... Hoo, Taoist Li, we're here, everyone is here, please give us your instructions!"
