"Children's clothing area?" Jiang Qiu frowned and stood at the elevator entrance looking at the sign on the ceiling. He looked hesitantly in the direction of Liang An, wondering if he had gone the wrong way.
"I also want to ask, Shao Zi said it's here." Liang An walked and spread his hands, "Maybe others have more experience hiding from people, and I feel that paparazzi usually won't come to this kind of place."
"What about the specific location?" Jiang Qiu looked around, "This entire floor, even if you just look at the children's clothing area, is quite large."
"It's impossible for two grown men like this to get along and huddle together in the children's changing room. Although I told Shao Zi not to leave until the evacuation is complete, he should have some experience hiding from paparazzi, and he should also be good at preventing strangers from encountering him by chance. ...Then they should be..."
Liang An put his hands in his pockets, squinted his eyes, and scanned the surroundings, looking for a suitable place to hide.
"I don't think it's necessary." Jiang Qiu pointed to a corner. There, a man wearing a windbreaker came over and waved to them.
"Hello police officer, I'm Chen Zerui...ahem, that's Chen Xing, that's my stage name."
This big star, or rather the man named Chen Zerui, is indeed an enthusiastic citizen.
He smiled a little awkwardly, maybe because he didn't know exactly what expression to make in this situation. If it's pure enthusiasm and cheerfulness, it seems inappropriate that someone just died in public; if it's pretending to be sad, it's really too hypocritical to say that it was just a stranger who died.
"Let's ask about the situation at the scene." Liang An shook Chen Zerui's outstretched hand and got straight to the point, "Where is your agent? Did he tell you that we would come?"
"Actually, there is no need to hide so outrageously," Chen Zerui led the two of them walking, "I looked around before and found that half of the people have been evacuated. And with so many police comrades here, even if someone has bad intentions, there should be no So bold."
"What threats have you received?" Jiang Qiu asked curiously.
Indeed, although Chen Zerui is a relatively famous star actor, his attitude of always paying attention to this issue even at this time is indeed unusual.
"No." Chen Zerui paused and said with a wry smile, "It's not that I care too much about this. It's true that my family talks about it a lot, and my agent also talks about it, as if he's afraid that one day I won't be able to get along with myself and make myself a bad person. Death. The defense against outsiders is even more outrageous. They treat me like a three-year-old child. I am more or less affected by it. I always feel that someone is trying to harm me.
How should I put it... Usually I get annoyed by nagging and say some angry words, but since they are all well-intentioned, I should take precautions before they happen. "
He seemed to have a good temper when he spoke at this time, and it was not like the slightly incomprehensible rebellious little wolf dog character that had been popularized in the public opinion before.
However, maybe this is just one of the personas he expresses his business.
"Where is your agent? Where has he gone?"
"He said he would go downstairs to check the situation and figure out when he could leave. He found me before and scolded me... but it was really my fault to go out alone."
He felt sorry again, although Liang An didn't want to continue caring about this issue.
"At that time, I just wanted to go out and relax. I also said that my agent often had trouble with me on safety issues. It was too dangerous here every day, the wind there was too bad, and the pressure was too great. I planned to finish filming. Let the drama come out on its own... to relax and relieve yourself.
This happened to be the set that was scheduled for tomorrow, and I wanted to sneak in for a walk. Of course, I had to go around to the parking lot to change into costumes and put on some disguise before going. But who knows, I just drove by - I had a good eye on that location. If you didn't deliberately look so late at night, you wouldn't be able to casually tell who I was in such dim light. How could you expect someone to be so sharp-eyed and so clever.
Then you also know that a large crowd of people gathered around me, and I was already discovered. Even if I rushed to the garage, I would definitely not be able to escape. "
After Chen Zerui finished speaking, he lamented again, "What a bad luck."
Liang An touched his chin.
"Have you noticed?" Jiang Qiu asked him as he was already some distance away from Chen Zerui.
"You should take a look at Shao Zi's whimsical ideas. After reading it, you will definitely understand...why I finally feel a little hopeful now."
The police station's lounge was indeed in good condition, with a moderate temperature, tables, chairs and a coffee machine. What Lu Yao liked most was the power strip in the corner.
It's not that she has any special preference for power strips, it's just because the power strip is designed in a very good position. The power adapter of the computer charger can be placed just right on the table, so she doesn't have to worry about it falling on the floor and having to wipe it when cleaning up. It's clean, and it won't be annoying to be hanging in mid-air.
He said he was here to play, but Lu Yao didn't really have the intention to start playing.
While she randomly picked a game anchor's live broadcast on her computer and played it automatically, she secretly glanced at Tong Hongguang, who was sitting on the sofa and concentrating on reading the newspaper, out of the corner of her eye.
Of course, she also kept the screen of her mobile phone open, constantly refreshing to see if there were any latest developments in the case.
The clock on the wall turned to nine o'clock and chimed twenty-one sharply. Lu Yao raised his head, somewhat criticizing this old design. If someone were to spend the night here, the twenty-three sounds at eleven o'clock would not cause the person to toss and turn in their sleep. However, maybe the old director likes this tone - there's nothing we can do about it.
"Do you want to know why there is surveillance on my mobile phone?" Tong Hongguang said suddenly.
This is really a bit unprepared. Lu Yao closed the computer and looked at Tong Hongguang, who was still holding the newspaper on the sofa opposite.
"Are you finally going to confess?" Lu Yao raised the corners of his lips, imitating Shao Zi's smiling face.
"You can understand that I am completely despairing."
But Tong Hongguang's tone didn't have the tone that "all thoughts are lost".
"What information did you get from me?"
Tong Hongguang finally put down the newspaper, showed his face, and lowered his head, as if feeling a little emotional.
"Playing on the computer can be interpreted as laziness. Looking at your phone from time to time is perfectly normal. Even if I can't help but look at you, it can be said that it is because of a new police officer's curiosity about the suspect. Even a psychological expert like you can't You can’t judge someone else’s status just by looking at the back cover of a laptop, or can you tell me even if I’m not here?”
Lu Yao tilted his head, "Can you talk and listen? I'm a little curious. Actually, it's okay not to say it. You can continue to say what you want to say. This is more important to my work. People always have to be right. Yes."
"Indeed, I hesitated instead." Tong Hongguang curled his lips.
Lu Yao saw him stop his statement, as if he wanted to get away with it.
"How can you still be polite in front of people after two hours of questioning? Your senior named Shao is a very good person. I guess he usually likes to play this show of caring for others. Even if the sky falls and the earth falls, the oceans dry up and the rocks are broken, the etiquette is not enough. It’s not thorough, it’s impossible to leave a… Well, the suspect has been here for so long without any care.”
"It's not just you, I'm also here." Lu Yao corrected.
"Indeed. But there is another very strange thing. My mobile phone has been taken away for so long, but there has been no explanation. Whether you find any clues or not, there will be two situations.
The first is that there is a problem, and I have been 'upgraded' to a suspect, so I naturally need more care; the second is that I don't have any other problems, so I should stop reading the newspaper here now. "
He smiled, but seemed a little bitter, "But what is presented to me is the third type."
"I very much support your conclusion." Lu Yao said sincerely.
"That's the third type. I prefer the first type. It's not a complicated trick, it's just a simple little mechanism. Thanks to your captain Liang, I didn't find a chance to do it all the way. To show off, at least delete that app." Tong Hongguang looked at her expression and confirmed his guess, as if he couldn't help it, he actually smiled.
But his eyes were obviously red.
"The person opposite the surveillance camera is Tong Yachang."
"The third possibility is not high, unless the polite police officer Shao is temporarily transferred to do something that is more important than dealing with me, a fresh suspect, and is even related to my mobile phone. Inextricably linked.
You are such a big criminal police team. I could see it when I walked in. There were people watching TV outside, so there was obviously no shortage of manpower. That only proves that what happened is related to my case. And the most recent contacts on my phone - should also be... the last contacts on that person's phone are each other. "
Lu Yao stared into his eyes.
"This kind of thing is not complicated. My father, Tong Yachang, is a very...I can't describe it directly. I can only say that the surveillance was installed in my mobile phone a long time ago. It was originally He asked me to install it, and I just happened to know some relevant knowledge, so I just did it.”
long, long ago. Leaning on the chair and listening to Tong Hongguang's statement, Lu Yao closed his eyes for a while and then opened them again.
"He... is very strict. He has always been like this. He is very controlling over everything, including... including my late mother. But I don't have no feelings for him. After all, he is the only relative I can rely on for a long time. It’s been like this ever since.”
This contradictory family affection may have created more chances and coincidences, leading to too many confusions and intricate puzzles.
"What is the relationship between you and Ma Jun's case?" Lu Yao asked the question she wanted to ask the most.
"If Ma Jun is really dead, then the real murderer can be said to be...Tong Yachang himself."
He called his father by his first name.
Lu Yao didn't doubt that he was lying.
She just looked at Tong Hongguang's expression. A moment of relief turned into an unspeakable pain, as if he was trapped in a deeper emotion.
"Did you know he actually committed suicide?"
"I reminded him and he promised me, but I didn't delve into it. I thought I could trust his reason."
Tong Hongguang closed his eyes as he spoke, seemingly relieved, but with an unspeakable pain in his expression, "This is not in line with my professionalism, but I...I respect his decision, this is despicable.
But I cannot disrespect the facts. I can't deny that that business trip, such a perfect alibi, was also the result of my biological father's careful planning, in order to murder my patient - I had a premonition of it. "
"You can't be sure?"
Tong Hongguang seemed to have finished what he wanted to say and looked at Lu Yao.
"You don't respect his decision to commit suicide, you want him to live, right?"
Tong Hongguang raised his head and looked at her.
"Generally speaking, the hospital's visiting hours are between 11 a.m. and 21 p.m.," Lu Yao said slowly, with a serious expression.
"You can't tell whether your guess is completely correct, but you don't dare to test me. Once the news is revealed in advance, we will arrest Tong Yachang, and Tong Yachang... your father learns the news, They will try their best to kill people and silence them.
An old man cannot break into the hospital casually, but he may pretend to visit in order to destroy the last witness as much as possible and prevent himself from going to jail. Because of this, you have been forbearing until this moment - you don't want your father who wants to kill and silence him to fulfill his wish, but also to fulfill your own hope of rescuing Ma Jun.
But what makes you think that he will not kill people and silence them while he is still alive? If he really completed the crime during your delay... You don't want Ma Jun to be killed, but you don't dare to reveal the fact that your father committed the crime. You can only let the situation develop and let things choose one of the outcomes within an unpredictable range. "
"……you are right."
Tong Hongguang's voice had some subtle hoarseness, "But it was also wrong. I was also in a hurry. Killing people in a hospital where people are passing through abortions, Tong Yachang could not have succeeded."
At this time, his voice seemed to be mixed with a hint of hatred.
"Why?"
"Because...even though 'his arsenic is my honey', at certain times, arsenic in some people's eyes is far better than bitter honey."
