Chapter 17 The Suspect Escapes

Chapter 17 The Suspect Escapes
At the gate of Wu's house, the police car drove away, but the car's rearview mirror reflected Xiao Man standing there in a daze.Luo Fei stepped forward: "Aren't you going to patrol the arresting room?"

"I'm not feeling well, so I asked the inspector for half a day off." Xiaoman seemed very depressed.

"Where is it uncomfortable?" Luo Fei asked.

Xiaoman pointed to the position of her heart in frustration.

"You? Chest...?" Luo Fei asked tentatively with a serious face.

"I feel uncomfortable, I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Xiaoman gave Luo Fei a blank look, and walked forward.

"The case is solved, shouldn't you be happy?" Luo Fei re-lit a cigar.

"But I didn't expect this to be the result. Ma Boyuan was innocent by eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and abusing his wife. Wu Qingfeng rescued Mrs. Ma from the fire pit, but became a murderer."

"The world is not black and white, and people are not simply distinguished by good and bad. Every criminal has something to be sympathetic to, and the victim may not be innocent. You still want to bring all criminals to justice ?"

Xiaoman thought for a moment, then looked back at Luo Fei: "A philosopher once said that there may not be absolute justice in the world, but the duty of the police is to make everyone believe in the existence of justice."

Luo Fei looked at Xiaoman curiously: "Which philosopher?"

"Myself." Xiaoman said as she turned around and quickened her pace.

Luo Fei looked at Xiaoman's back, exhaled smoke, and looked serious.

In the middle of the night, Xiaoman sat in front of the window in Sullivan's apartment and wrote a diary.Suddenly, a knock on the door was heard.

"Come in." Xiaoman shouted.

Luo Fei, who was wearing silk pajamas, gently opened the door, looked inside, and saw Xiao Man lying on the ground with dull eyes.

"Didn't you promise me to move out after the case is over?"

"Did I promise you?"

"You took my money." Luo Fei said confidently.

Xiaoman waved to Luo Fei.Luo Fei looked at Xiaoman with his hands in his pockets, and walked over hesitantly.

Xiaoman motioned Luo Fei to bend down, Luo Fei had no choice but to bend down, the two faced each other and breathed very close.

Just when Luo Fei was feeling distracted, Xiao Man stuffed a note into Luo Fei's pajamas pocket, and patted Luo Fei's chest lightly.

"Thank you for lending me money to tide me over. This is an IOU, and I will pay you back after I get my salary next month." Xiaoman said seriously.

Luo Fei rolled his eyes and got up.

"Ah, I see." Xiaoman pointed to the ceiling and said.

"What do you know?" Luo Fei asked disdainfully.

"I know what experiment you are doing. Look, there are ink stains on the ceiling, that is your simulated blood stain, right?"

"Go ahead." Luo Fei said, stroking the beard on his chin.

Xiaoman was lying on the ground dancing like a dancer: "The victim's carotid artery was cut, and the blood splattered everywhere. The murderer moved the body and cleaned all the blood, but he missed the ceiling. You are at the scene of a simulated crime. The human figure is not the location where the body was found, but the first scene, am I right?" Xiaoman jumped up from the ground after speaking.

"Very well, then here comes the question, if the victim is dragged away after falling to the ground, how long will the blood trail leave?"

"The carotid artery ruptured, and the blood could flow for at least 3 minutes. The murderer dragged the victim at a speed of about 50 meters per minute..."

Luo Fei nodded, and immediately took out his pocket watch: "Now start counting."

Afterwards, Luo Fei dragged Xiaoman out of the house.

"You are not dead, you are struggling."

"Ah, help..."

As soon as Wang Susu took a tenant up to the second floor, Xiaoman's "screaming" cry for help came from room 204.

Wang Susu pretended not to hear, and continued to introduce with an embarrassed smile: "Sullivan is my husband's surname, and he bought this Sullivan apartment for me. Don't underestimate me, China-West United Chamber of Commerce Does the president Dou Mali know? He really likes this place..."

Immediately afterwards, the tenant saw the door of Room 204 being opened suddenly. In the dark corridor, a man in pajamas dragged a young girl into Room 203 opposite the door.

"Your strength is getting weaker and weaker, and your voice is getting weaker."

"Ah, I can't do it."

"You lost too much blood and fell into a coma."

Xiaoman clutched her throat tightly: "Uh..."

"I made two more cuts, thrust! Insert!" Luo Fei stretched out his palm and stabbed Xiaoman's ribs twice.

The tenant was stunned to witness this scene, turned around and ran downstairs without saying a word.

"Hey! Don't go, this is just an experiment, it's an experiment..." Wang Susu yelled down while holding the handrail of the stairs.

But the tenant has disappeared without a trace.

Wang Susu covered her face: "What did I do wrong! Now there is one more neuropathy than enough."

At this moment, in the darkness outside Sullivan's apartment, a figure was observing through a telescope the figures of Luo Fei and Xiao Man reflected on the window glass of the corridor on the second floor.

"Is the Bund ready?" The figure put down the binoculars.

"The patrol room and the pier are all ready." A voice beside him said.

"It's time for our great detective to appear." After the figure finished speaking, it disappeared into the darkness.

After a while, Mrs. Wang's voice came from the first floor of Sullivan's apartment: "Two great detectives! The phone number from the police station!"

Immediately afterwards, Qin Xiaoman's exclamation came: "What? Escaped from the patrol room? Luo Fei——! Something happened..."

In the night sky at this time, thick clouds rolled up, and in a few seconds, heavy rain poured down, and thunder and lightning flashed.

In the taxi, Xiaoman looked anxious: "How did they escape from the patrol room?"

"Isn't this the time to think about this?" Luo Fei rubbed his pocket watch and said.

"The patrol room is fully hunting down."

"What's the efficiency of searching like a headless chicken?" Luo Fei snorted coldly.

Xiaoman was taken aback: "Don't we go to the police station? Do you know where they are?"

"It's not where, but where to go."

"Are they going to the train station?"

"Wu Qingfeng is such a smart person, how could he take an escape route known to the police?"

"Then...then they are going to the pier?" Xiaoman's eyes lit up, "Hey! No, why did this car stop at the arresting house? It should go to the pier."

"Stop rambling, get down!" Luo Fei opened the car door on Xiaoman's side.

"What do you mean?"

"Go down and find someone to block the West Bund pier. It's the only pier where there are evening passenger ships. If they can escape, there must be internal response and someone will follow secretly. We must be prepared for any danger," Luo Fei said. He pushed Xiaoman down.

"But you..."

Before Xiaoman could finish speaking, Luo Fei slammed the car door shut.

The pouring rain from the car window instantly blurred Xiaoman's face, Luo Fei looked at the car window, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes.

In the heavy rain, the neon lights of the whole city were reflected into strange halos in the strong wind and rain, as if it was a distorted time and space...

Time finally coincided back to this thunderstorm night.

It was still the same room, Room 203, Sullivan's apartment. Luo Fei hugged his knees and went through all the things in the past three days, but he still didn't understand why Wu Qingfeng said that before he died, and the policeman who shot him rashly Who was killed again?

"It seems that they are provoking me, I will not mess up." Luo Fei turned to look at Qin Xiaoman.

"I will apply with Inspector Javert tomorrow to investigate..."

"No!" Luo Fei took the skeleton from Xiaoman, "Do you know how to catch the devil?"

Xiaoman slowly shook his head.

A lightning bolt illuminated the skeleton, and Luo Fei shook the skeleton in his hand, "Become a ghost first."
