Chapter 40 Shadows in the Sun

The two came to the classroom, but saw many people gathered together, talking about something. Everyone's face showed anxiety and tension, as if something big had happened.

This surprised Lu Yanhe and Li Pengfei, and they didn't know what had happened.

"What's wrong?" Li Pengfei immediately leaned over and asked.

Everyone was talking about a piece of news that was circulated in various group chats last night: It is said that a body was found in a garbage dump last night, and it was murdered.

Now it is no longer the chaotic world where countless accidental deaths occur every day. In this peaceful era, an occasional abnormal death body is like a bomb that will blow up a huge splash in a calm pond.

Just like this group of students now.

Murder.

This word is too far away from their lives, so when it happens in the city where they live, it will feel too close to them.

"It seems to be a woman." A classmate said in an uncertain voice.

But this sentence made Lu Yanhe's mind suddenly appear the woman named He Ting.

Wearing a sun hat and a thin figure.

She stood in the crowded bus compartment and looked back at him through the crowd.

It was only evening, the door was open, and her face was in a shadow of backlight, so Lu Yanhe didn't see her face clearly at all, and didn't know what her expression was at that time.

Could it be her?

When this thought came to Lu Yanhe's mind, it was accompanied by a creepy feeling.

Lu Yanhe likes to watch crime movies, especially those in which ordinary people are accidentally involved in a conspiracy or accident. They are not stories like "Mission Impossible" or "The Untold Story" that do not live in the world of ordinary people, but stories like "Nobody" that take place in a real world. Only when the background of the story takes place in a world that can be seen everywhere around you will you feel more involved.

However, at this moment, Lu Yanhe realized that movies are movies after all. You know that it is a movie. No matter how involved you are, you know that it is just a story.

But the real world is not like this.

Lu Yanhe sat down and sent a message to Officer Qiu to ask: Officer Qiu, my classmates are talking about a woman being murdered here last night. Is it true?

Officer Qiu, who replied in seconds yesterday, did not reply to the message until the morning self-study session today.

It shouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

Lu Yanhe frowned slightly, suppressed the uneasiness that surged like an earthworm in his heart, made himself concentrate, and began to listen to the class.

-

Old city.

It was still raining heavily at the other side of No. 13 Middle School, but it was sunny here.

The same city, different weather.

A breakfast shop on the side of the road, with seven or eight tables set up along the street.

A man wearing a white vest and a ferocious tiger head carved on his right arm came over and sat down at a table next to him.

"Boss, a bowl of beef noodles, plus a portion of xiaolongbao!" he shouted.

"Okay!" The boss responded.

After a while, the boss came over with a bowl of steaming beef noodles and a tray of xiaolongbao.

He brought the noodles to the man, smiled, and said, "Eat slowly."

Halfway through the meal, a woman wearing sunglasses appeared.

She sat down at Luo Hu's table.

This scene did not cause any surprise among the people around.

This old city area is home to both lazy people who eat and live off their savings, and many elites in suits and ties or with exquisite makeup. The former are the remnants of this city, and the latter are outsiders in this city. If there is anything in common between the two, it is that neither of them is accommodated by the bright and beautiful side of this city, so they can only live in this backward old city area.

The lazy people can eat slowly for an hour, while the elites must finish their meal within ten minutes and rush to the CBD area ten kilometers away to work. The old city area is just their dreamland, and the CBD is their dream.

But this woman wearing sunglasses and with an elegant posture is not in a hurry.

After she sat down, she took off a pair of disposable chopsticks, chewed a steamed bun slowly, and then asked in an inaudible voice: "Did you deal with the person?"

"I brought it, I will deal with it." Luo Hu did not even raise his eyebrows.

"The surveillance shows that she secretly took photos and recorded videos. Did she say who she gave the things to?" the woman asked.

"She said she wanted to give it to a policeman before, but she didn't have time. After you reminded me, I kept watching her, but she didn't find the opportunity."

"Just in case, we should withdraw." The woman said, "You brought the person here, and he was honest and reliable. I didn't expect him to do something behind my back. I finally got a base here, but now I have to give up."

"Lie dormant for a while and see which way the wind blows. It's just one person who died. As long as no one sees those photos and videos and no one finds out what we really did, it's fine. I've checked her mobile phone. She's a woman from the countryside and she can't use a computer or anything. It's okay, don't worry."

"Before, you said that the person was from your hometown and told us not to worry. Didn't you still do something behind my back?" The woman frowned.

"Okay, I'll solve the trouble I caused myself."

"The police have already found the woman's body."

"No matter how you investigate, it's suicide." Luo Hu said, "I didn't kill her."

"You didn't kill her? Who did you ask to kill her? Are you crazy? How dare you ask someone else to do this?" After the woman sat down, she was a little emotional for the first time.

"Calm down, no one else can do this." Luo Hu smiled slightly, "It's just suicide."

The woman was stunned.

"Since I dared to bring her here, I naturally have a way to control her." Luo Hu said this and put down his chopsticks, "Keep out of the limelight for a while, see which way the wind blows and then contact me, I'm leaving."

Luo Hu left.

He just lied. It's not that He Ting didn't find an opportunity. Before she died, she told him that she almost gave the things to a policeman she had seen before that night, but she found him, so the opportunity she finally found was ruined.

Luo Hu sighed. Thinking of He Ting kneeling on the ground and begging him for mercy last night, Luo Hu felt annoyed. Why, why couldn't she just clean up honestly? She had to force him to use her daughter to threaten her to jump off the building.

But he didn't plan to tell this woman all this.

She didn't need to know. She just needed to know that the crisis was over.

The woman continued to eat the dumplings until she finished the last one, then she paid the bill and walked in another direction.

This is the old city, and the surveillance in this area has not been installed, so they can have a leisurely breakfast here and then leave slowly.
