Chapter 24 Midnight Chase
A black Chevrolet sedan is driving on the bustling streets of Shanghai.

Inside the car, Benjamin was driving the car, and Luo Fei was sitting in the co-pilot.

"You still have an appointment with the inspector and Ye Changqing? Tell me, where are you going?"

"Han Weiwei's apartment." Luo Fei said.

"What's the point of going there? The investigation is over long ago. There are many people who pay tribute to Han Weiwei. Even if there is any evidence, it has been destroyed long ago."

Luo Fei didn't answer, but looked out the window.

Benjamin changed the subject: "Hey, do you like Xiaoman?"

Luo Fei nodded: "I like it."

"Then she said she was going on a blind date tonight, why didn't you respond?" Benjamin looked worried.

"I like that she has a positive attitude towards work, she is brave enough to catch thieves, and she is very optimistic. Does this have anything to do with whether she is on a blind date?" Luo Fei gestured, his hands seemed to have no place to rest, and finally took out a cigar lit.

"Have you read "The Complete Works of Detective Sherlock Holmes" edited by Liu Bannong?"

Luo Fei nodded: "Very interesting book."

"Don't you think you and Xiaoman are a bit like Sherlock Holmes and Watson? Xiaoman is like your Watson, inseparable." Benjamin laughed.

"No, Watson is a man." Luo Fei pouted.

Benjamin suddenly slammed on the brakes.

Luo Fei leaned forward and shrugged: "What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing..." Benjamin should have realized that he shouldn't have any expectations of people like Luo Fei.

Outside Han Weiwei's apartment, Javert and Ye Changqing were waiting by the side of the road.

When Luo Fei and Benjamin parked the car and walked into the apartment.Javert and Ye Changqing followed closely behind.Luo Fei crossed the outer hall and walked straight in.

Benjamin stopped: "Luo Fei, didn't you mean shoes? The shoe cabinet is at the door, why are you going inside?"

The four of them walked into the kitchen.Luo Fei opened the cupboard.

"What did you see?"

The cupboards are neatly packed with dishes and drinking glasses.

Ye Changqing: Doesn't it just look neat.

"It's not only clean, it's spotless, and all the dishes are arranged symmetrically, from high to short, from small to large, square and round, neat and tidy. Although the outer hall was turned into a mess by the murderer, But from this cabinet, it can be seen that Han Weiwei is a person with a serious cleanliness." Luo Fei said.

"Well, even if Han Weiwei is obsessed with cleanliness, so what? Luo Fei, can you stop talking nonsense and get to the point!" Inspector Javert was a little impatient.

Luo Fei walked quickly to the door of the outer hall and opened the shoe cabinet.The other three followed behind.

"Do you understand?" Luo Fei looked at the three of them.

Javert frowned: "What do you understand, don't be tricky, just say it directly."

"Since Han Weiwei has serious cleanliness, why is there only one pair of shoes missing from her shoe cabinet?"

"The pair on the deceased's own feet?" Benjamin immediately answered.

"That's right, if it's your boyfriend visiting, you have to ask him to change into slippers at the door."

Ye Changqing looked at Luo Fei: "Luo Fei, what do you mean by that?"

"I'm very doubtful, does Han Weiwei have a boyfriend? If so, she will definitely prepare a pair of slippers for him, but after searching the shoe cabinet and the bedroom, she didn't find any slippers for men." Luo Fei said as he extinguished his cigar.

"Could it be that when Lu Xiangdong left, he took his slippers and other supplies with him? He wanted to hide his identity. Don't forget, he deliberately tore up the photo with Han Weiwei?" Javert guessed.

"However, we didn't find these things in Lu Xiangdong's residence."

Ye Changqing scratched his head, and suddenly said: "Will he get rid of it?"

Luo Fei shook his head: "No. According to normal people's psychology, Lu Xiangdong should first deal with the blood-stained murder weapon, the wolf dog raised by the deceased, and the black account that is very harmful to him. These are the most dangerous things. He will not give priority to it. Deal with things like slippers, toothbrushes, photos."

Benjamin questioned: "What if Lu Xiangdong doesn't play his cards according to common sense?"

Ye Changqing quickly echoed: "That's right, the doors and windows were intact when Han Weiwei died, and there was no sign of forced entry. In the middle of the night, if you are not an acquaintance, how could you trick a beautiful reporter into opening the door?"

"I haven't figured out what method the murderer used to get the deceased to open the door obediently," Luo Fei said.

"According to your thinking, would the murderer pretend to be a policeman or a water and electricity worker, and deceive the deceased Han Weiwei into opening the door?" Javert asked.

Luo Fei shook his head: "Young and beautiful single women are very vigilant at night, as can be seen from the fact that she has a tall and fierce hunting dog. So even if it is a policeman, she will definitely have to interrogate her through the door. Fan, once you become suspicious, call for help loudly, with the quality of security patrols in the concession, the murderer can easily expose himself, the risk is too great."

Benjamin sighed, and lost his patience: "Luo Fei, are you being too horny? You said that the murderer was not an acquaintance of the deceased, so why did he tear up the photo of him and the deceased?"

Luo Fei was taken aback: "Wait, repeat what you just said."

Benjamin was a little confused: "Are you going to be too horny..."

Luo Fei immediately interrupted, with an anxious expression on his face: "No! That last sentence."

"Why did he tear up the photo of him and the deceased?" Benjamin stared at Luo Fei and said slowly.

"That's right...why did he tear up the group photo?"

Luo Fei closed his eyes, pressed his hands on his temples, and talked to himself.

In Luo Fei's mind, the frames of the four photos, which were more than half torn off, interlaced and overlapped each other.

"I think what I said before is the most reliable. Lu Xiangdong was used by Han Weiwei. Seeing that the black account was going to be exposed, he bought the murderer."

Luo Fei opened his eyes and patted Javert on the shoulder: "Inspector! Ask someone to find me all the travel magazines and periodicals in the last three years, including those in foreign languages. I'll go to the police station and wait."

Luo Fei fastened his windbreaker and hurried out the door.

Javert looked suspiciously at Benjamin and Ye Changqing who also didn't know why: Travel magazine?Another three years?Why use it?

In the small office of the patrol room, the dim desk lamps and chandeliers were on.

Luo Fei was flipping through various thick magazines.The desks, chairs and ground are full of magazines and newspapers of all kinds and sizes.

At the same time, at the door of the patrol room, police detectives kept coming out to say goodbye.

Across the street from the police station, three black cars were parked.

Inside the car, a hand wearing a black leather glove was pressing on the steering wheel.

Holding a photo in his hand, every time someone walks out of the patrol room opposite, the photo will be flipped to the front.

And the person in the photo is Luo Fei's head with a red cross drawn on it!At this time, the other hand wearing a black leather glove held a pistol and slowly pointed to Luo Fei's forehead in the photo.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the small office of the patrol room where Luo Fei was located.

Luo Fei looked up and saw that it was Benjamin knocking on his open door.

Benjamin came to the table with coffee in his hand: "Aren't you going back?"

"Find the original picture of the two photos taken together."

Benjamin leaned over to look: "Oh? Did you find anything?"

Luo Fei shook his head and continued to search: "You go back first, I may still have a while."

Benjamin shook his head helplessly, and put the coffee cup on Luo Fei's desk.

"Thank you." Luo Fei bowed his head and said.

"Then you pay attention to safety and go back early." Benjamin turned and left.

When Benjamin stepped out of the patrol room, the black leather glove in the third car pointed the gun at Benjamin, and moved with his movement.Benjamin walked towards the first of the three cars without noticing, got in the car and drove away.The black leather hand put down the gun immediately.

Suddenly someone knocked on the car window!A policeman stood by the window by the side of the road.

"Hey, I saw you stop here this afternoon, who are you waiting for?"

The window rolled down slowly.

A black leather glove protruded from the window, wrapped it around the police detective's neck, and pulled it in.The patrol let out a muffled grunt, his legs twitched and then stopped moving.

Then, a sharp knife stabbed out from the back of the policeman's head, and he retracted in an instant, blood gurgling down in an instant.

At this time, Luo Fei still had no idea that the danger outside was approaching, he was still flipping through a thick magazine, and suddenly stopped after turning a few pages!Luo Fei took out a magnifying glass and carefully looked at the picture on the left side of this page.Luo Fei took the torn half of the photo and took it with a magnifying glass.

The photo only shows half of Han Weiwei's body, with two trestle railings behind her, and a distant mountain waterfall behind her.Luo Fei carefully compared the pictures in the magazine, and at the same time wrote down the proportional calculations on the notepad with a pen.

Luo Fei finally showed a satisfied smile.

The incomplete part of the small half of the photo was slowly completed, and the right side of Han Weiwei was the edge of the trestle bridge.

Luo Fei smiled and said, "There is no one standing here!"

suddenly!The chandelier above his head flickered a few times, Luo Fei looked up, and the chandelier returned to normal.Luo Fei picked up the phone, started dialing, put it to his ear and listened, frowning coldly.

"Why can't the phone be connected? Could it be that the telephone office is also off work?"

Luo Fei shook his head, put on the windbreaker on the back of the chair, clipped the photo in the magazine, and walked out of the small office.

Outside the patrol room, Luo Fei was walking on the empty street.

A black sedan with no headlights on followed him.

After walking less than 50 meters, the car suddenly roared and rushed towards Luo Fei.

Luo Fei saw a wonton stand on the side of the road, so he turned and walked over.The car brushed behind Luo Fei and rushed over, knocking over a trash can.After a screeching sound of brakes, the car immediately backed up and aimed at Luo Fei again.

Luo Fei saw the killing intent of this car was obvious, so he ran away.The car was in hot pursuit.Luo Fei turned into an alley, the car rubbed against the wall, sparks flew everywhere, but he didn't slow down at all, and rushed in.Luo Fei pushed down the trash can in a hurry, trying to block the car.The car directly hit the trash can and chased after him.Luo Fei ran to a fork in the road, made a little judgment, and immediately turned into a narrower alley, and the car behind him slammed into the alley entrance with a bang.

Luo Fei ran to the middle of the alley, looked back at the entrance of the alley, and was slightly relieved that there was no car chasing him.

Luo Fei tried to walk back a few steps.

Sudden!The car rushed out and lay across the alley, the window was open, and a pistol was sticking out.

At the same time, the pistol didn't stop at all, and fired several shots at Luo Fei!But it was farther away, hitting lampposts and trash cans.Luo Fei quickly turned around and ran to the other side of the alley.

The killer in the car became angry and pushed the door and got out of the car, shooting continuously with a gun in one hand, and chased in Luo Fei's direction.Luo Fei ran to the alley, but was suddenly dragged aside.Luo Fei took a closer look, and it was Qin Xiaoman who came!Qin Xiaoman protected Luo Fei by his side, turned around and drew his gun to fight back.

The killer immediately hid behind the lamp post, stopped moving forward, and retreated while shooting.The killer then returned to his car and drove off in a hurry.
