Chapter 11 Diary
Chi Xia packed up his things and turned around, but Cao Bin and the others had disappeared.
Luo Xun, however, showed no sign of leaving. He leaned against a chair with his legs resting on another chair, and was resting with his eyes closed.
Chi Xia stopped as he walked over and asked, "Captain Luo, aren't you leaving?"
"Um."
Luo Xun didn't open his eyes, but crossed his hands on his stomach and moved his body slightly: "Go back quickly."
He suddenly thought of something and opened his eyelids: "By the way, do you have a place to live?"
Chi Xia didn't expect him to ask her this question. She was a little surprised and quickly replied, "Yes."
"That'll do."
Luo Xun continued to close his eyes and ignored her.
Chi Xia walked out of the police station building, looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky. He took out his cell phone and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock.
She walked forward quickly. When she passed the security booth, someone leaned out and asked her, "Are you new here? Which team are you from? Why are you leaving get off work so late?"
Chi Xia saw the man's expression pause, and straightened up slightly and said, "From the special task force, you're not off work yet?"
The man glanced at Chi Xia and said, "You are Luo Xun's subordinate, no wonder. But I am just a gatekeeper, so why would I need you? Please don't bother an old man like me."
Chi Xia smiled and became more respectful: "I am just taking advantage of my youth. Officer Zhang was a leader in Dongzhou and even in the entire criminal police system. What's wrong with calling him you?"
Zhang Jinguo was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You are an interesting girl, but it is better not to mention what happened thirty years ago. What police officer or not, now they all call me Uncle Zhang."
A colleague on duty just happened to come out and waved over from a distance: "Uncle Zhang, aren't you going to rest yet?"
Zhang Jinguo replied, and then looked at Chi Xia: "It's getting late, hurry back and have a good rest. It's not easy to be on the case team's duty."
“It’s not easy.”
Chi Xia echoed: "Then I'm leaving, Uncle Zhang."
"Let's go, let's go." Uncle Zhang waved his hand and sat back down after seeing her walk out of the police station.
…
The night was as dark as water, and Luo Xun woke up from his dream.
Seeing that only less than half an hour had passed, he put down his sore legs, relaxed for a while, stood up, stretched his muscles, picked up his coat on the table and left.
It only takes fifteen minutes to drive from the police station to Chen Li's home. Luo Xun suddenly paused before entering the door, his eyes extremely sharp in the dark night.
When Bai Tian and Chi Xia left here, he casually stuffed a flyer on the door handle of Chen Li's house, but now , the flyer was not on the door handle.
After the incident, we have communicated with the property management about this area and no one except the police is allowed to come here.
Unless someone came, who was it? The murderer? Or someone else?
Luo Xun narrowed his eyes, entered the password, and opened the door a crack.
He pulled out his gun, took a defensive stance, and pushed the door.
The door creaked and Luo Xun stepped in cautiously.
The accident happened faster than Luo Xun had expected.
Just when he had half of his body inside, the person at the door had already launched an attack, heading straight for his lower body.
His center of gravity was all on the top, and he almost didn't react. He turned around quickly and got hit on the thigh . He quickly changed his strategy and shouted, "Police!"
The opponent was obviously stunned, and Luo Xun seized this opportunity to take the initiative and forced the opponent to retreat again and again.
Just as he was strangling the man's neck, he heard the man say hoarsely: "Captain Luo...it's me, Chi...Chi Xia!"
The voice sounded familiar. Luo Xun frowned, having already adapted to the dimness. He looked closely and confirmed, and indeed, he found a slightly familiar face.
"Why are you here in the middle of the night?"
He let go of her hand and said in a very unpleasant tone: "Chi Xia, you know that it is not allowed to act alone without the captain's permission in the team. Now the person who just came in is not me, but the murderer. What are you going to do? Hmm? Do you want us to collect your body here when the time comes, or are the people in the task force being dragged down by you?"
He had just used 80% of his strength, and Chi Xia's neck was slightly painful, but he pretended to be well-behaved at this moment.
"I wondered if I missed something during the day, so I wanted to come back and take a look. I sent you a message."
Luo Xun had already turned on the light. When he heard this, he took out his cell phone and took a look, gritting his teeth in anger.
"You sent me a message three minutes ago, only telling me that you wanted to come to Chen Li's house. If you had told me that you were already here, I might have praised you!"
Chi Xia's mouth twitched slightly, revealing his neck: "Captain Luo, let's look for clues. Solving the case is important."
Luo Xun was about to get angry with her, but when he saw the fingerprints on her neck, his expression changed slightly: "How long have you been here?"
Just as Chi Xia was about to answer, he said again: "I want to hear the truth."
Chi Xia swallowed his original answer and said honestly: "Probably, more than half an hour."
Luo Xun laughed angrily and snorted, "That's really hard for you. You've been here for more than half an hour, and you were still thinking about me, a useless leader, three minutes ago."
"I didn't say you were useless," she said defensively.
Luo Xun walked up to him, stared at her straightly, and said with a smile: "I say, I can say it myself!"
He walked past Chi Xia and turned around: "By the way, you have been here for so long, have you found anything?"
"this."
Chi Xia took out a ball of paper from his pocket and said, "I found it under the sofa. I haven't even opened it yet and you're here."
Chi Xia handed over the paper ball.
Luo Xun unfolded the paper ball and looked up at her: "What are you doing? Come and see? It's just the two of us. There's no need to act like I'm bullying you."
Chi Xia smiled and quickly moved closer to him.
When the note was unfolded, the two discovered that this should be a diary that Chen Li had casually written.
"Sleeping pills?"
Chi Xia was very quick at reading things, and soon found the key point. He pointed at that place and said, "Captain Luo, look here."
Luo Xun lowered his gaze and saw the following words on the note: I don't know what's going on lately, but sleeping pills don't seem to work that well for me. Even if I take them before bed, I'll still be awakened by nightmares after a while. I don't know when these days will end. Mom and Dad, are you leaving me because life is so hard? I also feel that life is not good, but someone loves me and I don't have that much courage. So I'll stay on earth for a while longer and then come to reunite with you.
But what surprised Luo Xun and Chi Xia even more was the following content. This was an unfinished diary, but the last sentence was full of information.
The content on the paper is: Recently I always feel like someone is following me, and I really don’t like this feeling. I think…
There is no content after that.
"It seems that Chen Li tore up the paper when she wrote this, and for some reason the paper rolled under the sofa."
Chi Xia said, "Captain Luo, do you remember that the forensic doctor said that Chen Li had sexual abuse scars that were different from those of Zhang Wen and Lin Wei?"
Luo Xun nodded solemnly.
"The murderer mainly relied on sleeping pills to cause the victim's coma and death. According to what Chen Li wrote, she was very likely to have woken up during the murder."
Chi Xia said again.
This girl was always good at finding clues. Luo Xun had complicated feelings towards her. Thinking back to what he had said to Chang Youwei at that time, he felt a little embarrassed now.
He looked around the room and asked Chi Xia, "Have you looked through everything you need to look through?"
Chi Xia blinked her big eyes and nodded innocently: "Yes."
"Have you been to the bathroom?"
"Not yet."
Chi Xia said, "During the day, isn't it Captain Luo who is in charge of the restroom?"
"Let's go check it out again."
Luo Xun thought of those clothes and thought there were some clues that probably only she could see. At this moment, she forced herself to be more humble and gentle, and even spoke more gently.
Chi Xia said "oh" and followed him to the bathroom, asking as she walked: "Captain Luo, why don't you go home?"
Luo Xun didn't even turn his head: "What about you?"
"I?"
Chi Xia said, "I passed by here on my way home and came to take a look."
"oh."
Luo Xun said: "You are quite dedicated."
At the bathroom door, Luo Xun stopped, took out foot covers and gloves from his pocket, and handed one to Chi Xia.
"This place is special, please be careful."
The two of them took protective measures before going in. Chi Xia's eyes were first attracted by the bottles and jars on the sink.
She walked over, picked up one of the jars and looked at it, and kept asking, "Captain Luo, you haven't answered me yet, why don't you go home?"
Luo Xun was half-kneeling on the ground, leaning sideways to look at the space under the sink, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't go home very often."
