The night was deep, but the lights in the pre-trial department were still bright. A cold wind blew outside the window, carrying dead leaves and hitting the glass, making a squeaking sound.
A few minutes later, continuous lines of icy rain fell from the sky and covered the entire Public Security Bureau compound in an instant!
Liu Tianlai pushed open the side door and came in. He looked at the gentle figure in front of the window and whispered, "We searched his body, but found no ID to prove his identity. He is also very stubborn and has experience in counter-investigation. We won't be able to find anything useful in a short time... But..."
This was expected. Just looking at the man's eyes and aura, he didn't look like an ordinary gangster. Wen Liang didn't turn around and said, "But what?"
Liu Tianlai walked up to Wen Liang, holding the secretly taken photos, frowning and saying, "I just looked at it carefully again, and I always felt that something was strange. It was only after Lao Geng reminded me that I suddenly realized it. Look, Mr. Wen, except for you, all the others in these photos are women..."
"Um?"
Wen Liang took the photos and looked at them one by one. It was indeed as Liu Tianlai said. Whether it was at the school gate, in the Great World, in the Imperial Garden, or outside Si Yajing's building, the people in the photos, besides him, were Zuo Yuxi, Si Yajing, Xu Yaoji, Suning, Xiao Ning and a group of girls who often surrounded him. Not to mention that Liu Tianlai and An Baoqing were not there, even Liu Zhi and Ren Yi didn't have a chance to show their faces.
Liu Tianlai is indeed an old hand in criminal investigation. From this point of view, it is indeed very strange. If the mastermind behind the scenes is the people Wen Liang guessed, the focus of the sneak photographer should be on Zuo Yuxi, Liu Tianlai and An Baoqing, but the fact is just the opposite.
why is that
Wen Liang took two steps back and forth, puzzled. In the silence, the phone suddenly rang loudly, startling both of them. Wen Liang looked down at the number, gestured to Liu Tianlai to keep quiet, walked to the window, answered the call, and smiled, "Sister Ning, what can I do for you?"
Ning Xi's elegant yet lazy voice came from the receiver: "The sound of rain is so annoying. I can't sleep. Come out and keep me company."
Wen Liang was quite amused and said, "Sister, what time is it now?"
"You are my only friend in Qingzhou! Okay? I'll be waiting outside your building. See you there."
Being begged by Ning Xi in such a coquettish tone, Ren Wenliang was as hard as iron, but he couldn't say no, so he said helplessly: "I'm not at home..."
"Ah," Ning Xi's voice suddenly became excited, and she said, "Where are you? I'll come find you!"
"Public Security Bureau..."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Liang had already forgotten about Ning Xi. After thinking about it carefully, he decided to go and take a look in person. Although Liu Tianlai is a professional, he may not be able to see some details more clearly than himself. When he came to the outer room, Geng Chao hurriedly stood up from behind the table. The dark-faced man took off his coat and was only wearing a small white vest. His hands and feet were handcuffed to the iron chair in the middle of the room. He looked straight ahead, and he was much calmer than when he was first arrested. When he saw Wen Liang coming in, he actually smiled and said, "I knew you were not a simple guy. You hang out with these directors and section chiefs every day, but I didn't expect that they seemed to listen to you..."
These are the truth, but some things are better known by fewer people. Liu Tianlai winked at Geng Chao, who stood up and left. Wen Liang stood two meters in front of Hei Lian, looked down into his eyes, and said with a smile: "You have been with me for so long, but it seems that you don't know me well enough. But it doesn't matter. I like making friends the most, and I have plenty of time. If there is anything else you want to know, you might as well ask, and I will answer truthfully."
Heimian was stunned for a moment, unable to understand Wenliang's intention, and curled his lips defiantly.
"When making friends, courtesy is the norm. Since you don't have anything to ask, let me ask a few questions - what's your name, where are you from, who else is at home, wife, son? Oh, no response, so it seems you don't have any. So, are your parents still alive?"
Somehow, this nice sentence had a sinister tone coming out of Wen Liang's mouth. He looked up suddenly, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, he stared at Wen Liang angrily, and said viciously, "What do you want to do?"
Wen Liang chuckled and said, "It seems that there should be someone at home. I didn't want to do anything, but someone just wanted to kill me with a knife, so I had to protect myself... You must be thinking, I don't even know who you are, how can I find your family, right? It's a pity that in this country, as long as you are rich and powerful, it is not difficult to dig out a person's background..."
"you!"
Hei Lian struggled hard, and the steel handcuffs on his hands and feet scraped across the iron chair, making a sharp and ferocious hissing sound. Two deep bloody marks were immediately left on his wrists. He roared, "Come at me if you have anything to do to me. If you dare to touch my parents, I... I..."
"What do you mean?"
Wen Liang suddenly shouted angrily. His expression was so cold and his aura was so fierce that not only his dark face, but even Liu Tianlai, who had been with him for a long time, was shocked.
No one knows how much pressure Wen Liang has been under since he discovered this stalker.
"Who was it that was sneaking around to find out where I was, who was it that was invading my life by any means necessary, who was it that was holding a knife and blocking me in the alley? Now it seems like I have let you down, isn't it?"
Wen Liang resisted the urge to slap the other person until he vomited blood, took a deep breath, and gradually calmed down his tone. He said coldly: "Since you have done it, don't regret it! Prepare to spend the rest of your life in jail, and you will cause two old people to suffer in their later years. If I had a son like you, I would have killed myself a long time ago."
Hei Lian opened his mouth, but he had nothing to say. He could only glare at Wen Liang, his mind going blank. Under normal circumstances, he could easily deal with the boy in front of him with just one finger, but at this moment, he seemed like an insurmountable mountain.
For the first time, he realized his own weakness, discovered how big the gap was between the environment he lived in before and the real society, and understood that there are many things in this world that far surpass force and skills.
An unprecedented fear quietly crept up his body and mind, and his hard nerves were easily torn apart. This was the first time he had encountered this in his 27 years of life!
Liu Tianlai had interrogated prisoners more times than Wen Liang had eaten, but he was still stunned by his domineering methods. Of course, it was not to say that Wen Liang was so smart, but the threats he used were something that Liu Tianlai and his friends would never be able to imitate in their lifetime.
The stage is set up, and the show is going to go on. Liu Tianlai pulled Wen Liang to sit behind the table, then leaned over and said, "As long as you tell me who ordered this, I will save your life and ask Young Master Wen for mercy, and not make things difficult for your family. How about that?"
Heimian was still glaring at Wenliang angrily. After a long while, he seemed to lose his temper and slumped down on the chair, saying, "I... I didn't have anyone to instruct me..."
"Then there's nothing much to say. It's intentional homicide, the evidence is irrefutable, and there's no confession or self-incrimination. You can't escape a life sentence for this case. You'll spend the rest of your life in prison."
Sweat beads appeared on Heimian's forehead, and his hands and feet began to tremble slightly. He was not afraid that he would really go to jail, but he was worried that his family would be harmed. This shows how good Uncle Wen's acting skills are.
Liu Tianlai waited for him to confess at his leisure. According to the usual practice, Heimian should be about to collapse. Geng Chao suddenly opened the door and whispered, "Director Liu, come here."
Liu Tianlai followed him out and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There's a woman outside looking for Master Wen. She's driving a Porsche. Look..."
"Oh, let her come up. I forgot to tell you that she is Master Wen's friend."
When Liu Tianlai came back and told Wen Liang about it, Wen Liang smiled bitterly and said, "She really came. You stay here first. I'll go out and send her away."
Just as he stood up and walked outside, the door was pushed open a little, and Ning Xi half-slipped in. He glanced around the room and asked in confusion, "Why are you going to the Public Security Bureau in the middle of the night? Huh?"
Hearing the voice, Hei Lian turned his head subconsciously, his body shook violently, and he immediately turned around. Ning Xi's eyes suddenly focused, and her eyes fell on the tattoo on Hei Lian's arm, as if thinking about something. Wen Liang wanted to pull her out to talk, but unexpectedly, he didn't move. He followed her gaze and asked, "Do you know him?"
Ning Xi shook her head, walked over, took a closer look, turned around and asked, "Why are you arresting him?"
There was no need to hide this from her, so Liu Tianlai explained the reason. When Ning Xi heard that Hei Lian had cornered Wen Liang in a dead end with a knife and was planning something bad, anger flashed in her starry eyes under her sunglasses. She said the word "OK" three times in a row, took out her cell phone and went outside to make a call, leaving Wen Liang and Liu Tianlai staring at each other in bewilderment.
Wen Liang looked at the four feather tattoos on Heimian's arm and asked Liu Tianlai, "What is this?"
Liu Tianlai shook his head in confusion: "The bureau doesn't have any research in this area..."
The person who tied the bell must untie it. Wen Liang went out for a walk and found Ning Xi standing at the balcony at the end of the corridor. She was wearing the latest autumn and winter women's clothing from Versace. The black waisted military-style windbreaker decorated with gold buttons emphasized the woman's curves and charm to the greatest extent. The black strappy open-toed mid-boots decorated with gold buttons also brought out this capable and heroic style to the fullest.
She stood there, only in her twenties, but her back alone was enough to captivate most men in the world.
But at this moment, Wenliang only saw sadness and frustration in it!
"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have let you come tonight!"
Wen Liang didn't ask anything, but apologized to her sincerely. This kind of love and tenderness turned even the iron stone into a soft touch. Ning Xi turned her head, and the raindrops passed through the balcony and wet her hair. Her extremely delicate profile seemed to be more beautiful than usual. Her lips were slightly opened, and her usually pleasant voice had become hoarse: "I should say sorry..."
She slowly came over, her delicate body nestled in Wenliang's arms, her hands hugged his waist from behind, her ears pressed against his strong chest, and she murmured in a low voice: "Wenliang, I'm sorry..."
Wen Liang gently stroked her long hair, but his eyes passed through the rain curtain and projected onto the distant vast night, his brows tightly locked into the shape of a "川" character.
I don’t know how long it took, but a silver-gray Grand Cherokee came roaring in, did a beautiful drift at the gate, and stopped just by the side.
The car door opened, and a pair of dark green military leather boots stepped on the ground, stirring up countless black splashes of water!
