Returning to the parking place, Xiao Long calmed down for a moment, sat in the driver's seat, and started the car. The long-lost roar of the engine broke the deathly silence. He leaned out of the car to observe the road conditions, and controlled the steering wheel along the narrow road. The trail backs up. When the car turned back to the wide road it had just traveled on, there was still no vehicle passing by. The trees gradually faded away, and the light of the car lights could be faintly seen in the distance.
it is finally over. The exhausted Xiao Long only has this idea now. The seat where Shi Yunfeng sat before was empty, as empty as a big hole, and a sense of fear came towards Xiao Long. After the car entered the street of the small town, there were only a few cars speeding on the road. Because the speed of the cars was very fast, no one should have noticed that Xiao Long's car entered the main road from the side road.
Xiao Long drove towards Nanguang. Because of his profession, he has seen countless corpses, and he also had the experience of dissecting corpses when he was in school. He has long been accustomed to corpses, but that was when the deceased had nothing to do with him. But now, he was the one who killed Shi Yunfeng. He really couldn't keep calm. His legs and white socks sticking out from the arched bushes kept appearing in front of his eyes. Although a big trouble was solved, new troubles followed: the body should be discovered tomorrow, and it may take two or three days to identify it. No, before the police came to the door, she pretended to have read the news and took the initiative to confirm. No one in the hospital knew that Shi Yunfeng was looking for Xiao Long, and no one knew that she was with Xiao Long.
The next question is his own alibi. It is necessary to prove that he was connected to other people at that time. A living murderer should not exist in an isolated environment.
When Xiao Long planned to kill Shi Yunfeng, he thought of killing Wu Chen and Lai Qianxiu's husband. However, Xiao Long was intimidated by using the same method repeatedly, and he was worried that flaws would appear. Moreover, out of the conscience of a medical practitioner, that is, his last bit of professional ethics, he was hesitant to repeatedly use this professional killing method, so he did not use this method to kill Shi Yunfeng.
Xiao Long continued to drive. There were gradually more vehicles on the road, and the speed of the vehicles slowed down. The time shown on the watch is eleven ten. It should be around eleven forty when we return to the hospital. This time must be remembered accurately.
Of course, we must also ensure that there are no traffic accidents. Otherwise, people would know that he had been to the streets of the town. Xiao Long shuddered and had to slow down. If he was not careful, a traffic accident might really happen. The car drove past several police officers. It was a summer night, and the police officers on patrol set up chairs on the side of the road to enjoy the cool weather and observe the road conditions.
Xiao Long didn't know these patrolling police officers. He only knew that speeding records should never be left in a place like this. Xiao Long drove slowly and cautiously, and the taxis behind him passed him impatiently.
Xiao Long turned left into the street of Nanguang North where the town street widened, intending to go back far. Due to the subway construction, it was difficult for vehicles to pass. The driver in front was arguing with the construction workers. Xiao Long reminded himself that he could not Because trivial things leave an impression on people, the license plate number on a car is as conspicuous as a signboard. If someone sees it, it may cause trouble for you.
Xiao Long drove to the side road again. As soon as he holds the steering wheel tightly, he will have the illusion that Shi Yunfeng's ghost is telling him to drive carefully in the distance.
Xiao Long decided not to go back to the hospital yet. He drove the car to Lai Qianxiu's home. It was 11:50 pm when he arrived. At this time, Xiao Long was not worried about someone seeing his car parked here. Instead, he hoped that someone could write down his license plate number.
He entered the entrance hall through his own private entrance.
"You're back." The maid came to greet Xiao Long. People in this family always went to bed very late, so Xiao Long went straight to Lai Qianxiu's room.
Lai Qianxiu was sitting at the table, flipping through the account books, with an abacus in hand. She knew Xiao Long had come in, and without even looking at him, she rubbed her temples with her fingers.
"What about settling the accounts? It seems that business has been good!" Xiao Long sat down a little far away from Lai Qianxiu.
"Isn't it good?" she said unhappily, "Now I'm trying to find ways to raise money to open a branch. Alas, how easy is it to get so much money!" She picked up the abacus and shook it vigorously.
"You said you didn't have enough money and we said we didn't have enough money. There is a huge difference in the amount!" Xiao Long was a little worried. She said this, wondering whether the money agreed to be given to him would be delayed for some reason. "Besides, you are too ambitious. If you don't see success, just give up. Otherwise, you may capsize in the gutter."
Lai Qianxiu didn't speak, just shrugged his shoulders.
"Ah? It's past twelve o'clock." Xiao Long glanced at his watch and said.
"What are you doing here now?" When asked, Lai Qianxiu still didn't raise her eyes to look at him.
"Of course I have something to discuss with you. I've been very busy lately,"
"Huh, aren't you with some woman?"
"Don't make such a joke. I am also working hard to raise money now. I went to borrow money from someone today, but it still didn't work. Is there no problem with the money you promised to borrow last time?" Xiao Long said to Lai Qianxiu Said the back.
"Don't mention this tonight." Lai Qianxiu left the table for the first time tonight and walked towards Xiao Long. Although there was an unhappy look on his eyebrows, he was not necessarily so repelled by Xiao Long's arrival.
"As long as you abide by the agreement, I don't need to ask for money. Forget it, I won't mention it tonight, just talk about something else."
Xiao Long took out a cigarette from his pocket. Lai Qianxiu personally struck a match and lit it for him. At this time, she couldn't help being surprised: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Long was startled: "What?"
"Why do you look so ugly?"
Xiao Long touched his face and said, "Ah, really?"
"Are you feeling unwell?" Lai Qianxiu stared at Xiao Long with squinted eyes.
"No, it's nothing. It's strange. Does it really look that pale?"
"Yeah. But it's fine if you don't have anything. Maybe it's because of the lighting." She looked at the lights on the ceiling.
"I've been borrowing money from everywhere these days, and tonight's negotiation didn't go well, so my depression is clearly visible on my face. Is there really no problem?"
"It's so annoying! Didn't we say we wouldn't talk about this today?"
"Yes." Xiao Long looked at Lai Qianxiu's face under the bright light. The featureless flat face now looked full of vitality. He held Lai Qianxiu's plump hand.
"Let go! You are still entangled with other women." Lai Qianxiu struggled a little, then let Xiao Long do it, leaning her body against him.
Xiao Long licked Lai Qianxiu's earlobe and said, "Can you help me prove that I have been with you from dusk tonight?"
"Ah, what's wrong?" Lai Qianxiu looked at Xiao Long's face in confusion. Her expression was not as surprised as her tone indicated.
There's a bit of a situation,
"Is it because the debt was not repaid on time?"
"Well, that's it. Anyway, no matter who asks, you have to say that I have been with you since dusk."
"Okay." Lai Qianxiu did not continue to ask.
Xiao Long stared at her face lovingly, then kissed her lips deeply, and then told her again: "Maybe the police will come to question you, and then you must say that I have been with you all the time."
When Lai Qianxiu heard this, he felt that the situation was a bit serious and took a deep breath.
Xiao Long explained: "I will tell you the details later, remember to say this."
"What's going on?" She seemed to have guessed something, her tone was very serious.
"I'll tell you slowly later. Do you understand?"
Xiao Long particularly emphasized the phrase "Do you understand?" Since they conspired to kill Lai Qianxiu's husband, this sense of complicity seems to have become a compulsion, forcing them to advance and retreat together in everything. Although Lai Qianxiu didn't understand what was going on, he stopped asking about anything and just kept a straight face.
"I want to stay at your place tonight, okay?"
Xiao Long put his hand into Lai Qianxiu's clothes, caressing her gently while whispering in her ear. Although Lai Qianxiu looked uneasy, she still acquiesced to Xiao Long's request.
Xiao Long left Lai Qianxiu's house at eight o'clock the next morning.
His car was parked at Lai Qianxiu's house all night. This is good. Pedestrians passing by must have seen the black car, which can also be evidence that Xiao Long was at Lai Qianxiu's house all night. According to Lai Qianxiu, she arrived home thirty minutes earlier than Xiao Long. It was not difficult to hide it from the servants of Qianze's family by pretending that the two had been together since dusk, but it was a bit troublesome to explain where he and Qianxiu Lai spent the time together. Lai Qianxiu was in the Ginza store at five o'clock. Later, he went to see a cabaret show alone, and then went to a restaurant that was open late for a late-night snack before returning home. In fact, as long as these activities are said to be carried out by Xiao Long and Lai Qianxiu, Xiao Long can form a perfect alibi. Xiao Long plans to carefully consider these details and come to him after the police find Shi Yunfengfeng's body. He still had plenty of time before investigating.
