Chapter 6 Haze
Chi Xia said slowly: "Look at these three updates."
"The first half is sad and gloomy. Zhang Wen's past is like a nightmare. Lin Wei doesn't want to recall it. Chen Li is easier to understand. She has been living in the haze of her parents' death."
"But in the second half, they all turned around at the same time and were full of hope for the future. Captain Luo, if we want to find the connection between the three people, can this be considered one?"
After Chi Xia finished speaking, he looked at Luo Xun.
Luo Xun stared at her, but she quickly looked away.
Luo Xun was silent for a while.
Just as he was about to speak, Cao Bin poked his head in and said, "Boss, Zhang Wen and her family members are here, and Chen Li's boyfriend has also rushed back."
"knew."
Luo Xun stood up in response and looked at Chi Xia again: "Chi Xia, I have two words to say."
Chi Xia also stood up and lowered his head: "You go ahead."
Luo Xun really didn't like the way she always kept her head down and looked stupid and dull.
Did he look so scary? Why did she look like she was being bullied and excluded when he spoke?
She was obviously pretending, and Luo Xun had already seen through it.
Luo Xun took a deep breath and hid his emotions: "First, I agree that you can participate in the investigation of this case, but it does not mean that you can stay in the task force; second, during the investigation, you are not allowed to act on your own. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Chi Xia said.
Luo Xun suddenly frowned, and he suddenly realized a problem. This intern with thin arms and legs has been flawless since he entered the office.
She's not as well-behaved as she appears to be!
"Okay, let's go." Luo Xun glanced at her and walked out first.
Chi Xia followed him and looked up at Luo Xun.
This man is tall and slender, with a broad back. He should be a clothes hanger, but he is very unkempt. He seems to exude a lifeless and decadent feeling, and also has a bit of mystery.
These people are usually quite attractive.
Chi Xia's dull eyes were extremely clear at this moment, and even contained a hint of excitement as if he had found prey.
She could sense a strong sense of decadence from this person.
There must be deep pain and secrets hidden beneath this skin.
She knew this feeling very well. From the moment she saw the man, she smelled the scent of the same kind.
There are two people living in one body.
One is in the light, the other in the dark.
…
In the reception room, Chen Li's boyfriend fainted once after hearing the bad news. Zhang Wen's husband and Lin Wei's father frantically pinched his philtrum. After he woke up, the three of them cried together.
Even Curly, who was usually responsible for dealing with the victims' families, couldn't get a word in at this time.
Seeing the victims' families in such pain, I just hate them for not being able to find the evil murderer.
Chi Xia and Luo Xun walked in.
"Let's change some ice water for them ." Chi Xia said to Curly Hair.
Cao Bin grabbed Curly and said, "Let's go right away."
At this time, Lin Wenjue also came back. He shook his head with a bit of regret and whispered, "There are no new clues."
Luo Xun exhaled, nodded, and looked at Chi Xia: "I've brought the people here, but I hope you won't add fuel to the fire."
Chi Xia straightened his collar, hummed softly, and then sat down opposite the three men.
Luo Xun and Lin Wenjue looked at each other and sat down. Cao Bin and Juanmao changed their cups of ice water and also found a place to sit down.
Everyone was waiting for Chi Xia to speak.
"Have a drink of water."
Chi Xia said, "Change to ice water, it will be more comfortable."
Zhang Wen's husband and Lin Wei's father took a sip of water with red eyes.
Chen Li's boyfriend Chen Kai hadn't reacted to the bad news yet. His face was blank, and only tears were flowing out of the eyes of this burly man.
Lin Wei's father sighed with a trembling voice.
Since learning of his daughter's death, his hair turned white overnight, he looked much older than usual, and his voice became hoarse when he spoke.
"Officer, the case has happened for so many days. It's fine if you don't have any results. You can't just... you can't keep calling us here again and again. What can we know? We've said everything we need to say. You should go find the murderer. What's the point of looking for us? This place... This place makes us feel heartbroken every time we come here..."
When Zhang Wen's husband heard this, he choked up and cried out, "Yeah, what's the point of looking for us? What's the point? Go find the murderer! Go find the damn murderer!"
Chen Kai still didn't understand what had happened. The only thing he knew was that his girlfriend was dead, murdered by someone. He rushed over and only saw her body, killed in such a horrible way!
"I understand everyone's feelings."
Chi Xia said: "We are just like you. We want to bring the murderer to justice immediately, but he is very cunning. We must know more clues to find his traces. Everyone, as long as you give me a little clue, we can follow this little clue and unravel the mystery. We will definitely catch him!"
They looked up at Chi Xia and saw the determination in the eyes of the female police officer.
"But what can we know?"
Zhang Wen’s husband Zhao Ziqiang said: “Wenwen never quarrels with anyone. Who could she offend? Even if there was a small quarrel, how could it be to the extent of murder? I have racked my brains over and over again, but I can’t think of who has such a big grudge against her! If you let me know... let me know who killed her…”
He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and veins bulged on the back of his hands.
Chi Xia looked at the other two people. Lin Wei's father covered his face with his hands, which were shaking.
"Mr. Zhao, has Zhang Wen ever been hurt in the past?"
Chi Xia looked at Zhang Wen's husband and suddenly asked.
Zhao Ziqiang was suddenly stunned. He avoided Chi Xia's gaze in panic: "You...what are you talking about? I don't know. There is no such thing. Don't talk nonsense!"
Chi Xia's eyes did not move: "This is very important for our investigation, I hope you don't hide it."
She looked at Lin Wei's father, Lin Weimin, and said, "Uncle Lin, Lin Wei must have had a very dark past, right?"
Lin Weimin's trembling movements stopped and Zhao Ziqiang looked over.
Chen Kai stopped feeling sad. He looked blankly at the two people who had the same fate as him and murmured, "Lili's parents are both dead. Is this the dark past you mentioned, officer?"
Chi Xia took out a tissue and handed it to him: "Yes, this is her darkness."
Zhao Ziqiang and Lin Weimin didn't know what they were thinking about. They were so sad that they couldn't control themselves and burst into tears. Even if they tried their best to hide it, they couldn't control their emotions.
Luo Xun glanced at Chi Xia with a serious look, and then looked at Lin Wenjue.
Lin Wenjue smiled meaningfully. In a short period of time, this new intern found a way out of the chaotic situation that they were in.
And this was even though she had never seen the scene or the body.
"You've made a mistake." He said to Luo Xun silently.
Luo Xun glanced at him.
Soon, Chi Xia said, "Zhang Wen, has she been violated, or..."
Zhao Ziqiang had just picked up the water cup, but when he heard the words, his hand loosened and the cup fell on the table.
The water flowed from the table onto his legs and the ground. He looked at Chi Xia in panic and shock: "You...how did you know?"
Chi Xia lowered her voice: "The only things that can make a girl live in darkness are experiences like this, family of origin, postnatal injuries, unexpected events. Except for Chen Li, I don't know what injuries Zhang Wen and Lin Wei have suffered. I'm just guessing."
Zhao Ziqiang's lips trembled and he lowered his eyes.
Lin Weimin sighed deeply, filled with remorse.
Chi Xia waited for their next words.
Zhao Ziqiang finally spoke up. He said, "Wenwen and I were high school classmates. Ten years ago, she was raped and took a year off from school. She was tortured for a long time afterwards. Even her parents thought it was Wenwen's fault. It wasn't until we got together, fell in love, and got married that she felt a little better."
Curly said doubtfully: "I also looked in this direction, but I didn't find any relevant case investigation or court documents."
"Privately."
Zhao Ziqiang controlled his anger and unwillingness: "Besides me, the other party and Wenwen's parents know about this matter."
He choked up again: "She worked so hard, lived so hard, why didn't God let her go!"
Yes, she has tried very hard to say goodbye to the past, a husband who loves her wholeheartedly, a stable job, even if she dreams of that terrible night at midnight, when she opens her eyes, she sees a dim light, a well-behaved cat, and her husband's caring comfort.
She thought her life had been separated from her nightmarish past.
"Uncle Lin, where is Lin Wei, can you tell me?"
Chi Xia looked at Lin Weimin and spoke softly, as if asking.
Lin Weimin wiped away his tears and sighed again: "After I divorced Weiwei's mother, the child was awarded to her mother. Later, I left Dongzhou to work. One day, the hospital suddenly called me..."
Looking back now, Lin Weimin feels guilty towards his daughter.
"The doctor told me that the child had been suffering from domestic violence. Her mother was not in a good mental state after the divorce, so Weiwei... Weiwei..."
He couldn't help but slap himself. "I rushed back and took Weiwei to my place. I thought that was enough. I... I didn't know that she was not as comfortable at school as she was at home. By the time I found out, she had already graduated from high school..."
Luo Xun clenched his hands on his legs into fists.
Three victims with dark pasts, what was the murderer's intention in killing them?
