The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

The sky gradually brightened, but Leng Yu's heart gradually cooled down.

Hou Peiting, a good woman has become a cold-blooded murderer because of past changes.

Officer Chen was driving while Leng Yu sat beside him, and the two of them did not say a word.

Within a few minutes, Officer Chen couldn't help it. He asked, "Officer Leng, is the murderer who killed the four dead really Hou Peiting? Is she really a tailor at the'Rongrong' garment factory? "

Leng Yu said with a "huh" and said, "She is a tailor in the morning and a wine girl in the evening. She comes to the nightclub to drink and chat with the guests every night to set a trap for the dead and then kill them."

Officer Chen sighed, "It's been so long, why can't she forget it?"

Leng Yu glanced at him and asked coldly: "If it were you, could you forget it?"

When Police Officer Chen heard this, his face flushed immediately, and he was speechless for a while. After a long time, he asked: "So, what happened to the holes in the shirt of the deceased?"

This is a question that has been buried in Leng Yu's mind for a long time, and she hasn't been able to guess the murderer's mind until now.

She fell into thinking again.

After a long time, Leng Yu shook his head and said, "I still can't figure it out."

In Leng Yu's career where she has solved countless cases, there are few doubts that she can't solve. Only this time, she put a lot of thought and time on this case, but she still couldn't understand why Hou Peiting cut countless holes in the shirt of the deceased, and she didn't understand what she meant by doing this.

After Police Officer Chen drove the car for an hour, the crowd came outside the'Rongrong' garment factory. They looked over from the car and saw that although the door of the garment factory was closed tightly, a faint light could still be seen from the crack in the door.

They guessed that the employees started to work before dawn.

The two got out of the car and came to the factory gate first. After showing the police officer's ID to the security guard at the door, they pushed the door and entered. There was a sudden noise in their ears, and these sounds came from the sewing machine in the factory.

The female workers in the factory didn't notice the police officer's visit, and they all worked intently.

When they passed through the sewing machines, they met an older female worker. She came to them and said, "I received a notification from the security guard that you were caused by several murders in Yangshi. Found it here?"

Officer Chen nodded and said, "Yes, we want to see the factory manager here!"

As the voice was mixed with the machine noise from the sewing machine, it was impossible to hear clearly, so Officer Chen amplified his voice to speak.

Leng Yu ignored them, she turned her head and looked around, her eyes piercing sharp. When she saw another exit in the factory, she leaned into the ear of one of the police officers and said, "You lead people to guard the exit over there, and Officer Chen and I will meet their boss!" After finishing, he pointed to the other side.

The police officer nodded, then led the other police officers and ran quickly in the direction of the exit.

Seeing that the police officers insisted on seeing the director, the older female workers led them to the door of the director's office in desperation. After knocking on the door, they led them in.

The director of the factory was also a woman. After she looked up and saw the two police officers, she looked at the female worker with a pair of suspicious expressions on her face.

The elderly female worker stood aside and said in a low voice: "They said it was because of the recent murder in Yangshi. They came to the factory to get some information from you."

The director furrowed his brows and said, "Well, I see, you can go out first."

After the female worker left the office, she reached out and pointed to the two chairs in front of her, and said, "Sit down, two of you." Then she asked, "What happened?"

Officer Chen did not sit down and asked directly: "We are looking for a seamstress named Hou Peiting. Is she still working here?"

After hearing this, the female factory manager said, "Hou Peiting? There is no one named Hou Peiting in the factory."

Her words immediately caught Leng Yu's attention, and she thought to herself: Are we guessing wrong?

So, she quickly took out the phone, adjusted Hou Peiting's high school photo, and showed it in front of the female factory director, and asked: "So what about her? Have you seen her?"

The female factory manager carefully looked at the photo Leng Yu handed over, and felt that the person in the photo was very familiar, but she seemed to be very young, and she should be only a teenager.

Her head was spinning quickly, trying to find out the identity of the person in the photo from her memory. Suddenly, her inspiration flashed and she shouted, "Ah! She is a seamstress in our factory, but she is not called Hou Peiting, she is called Hou Qixuan!"

Then, she asked: "You... Why do you have a picture of her in high school? She is a very mysterious person. She never hangs out with us, and never takes pictures with us..."

When Leng Yu heard this, his heart was clear.

Hou Peiting had changed her name. She used a pseudonym when she went to work here.

When the female factory manager said this, she immediately became vigilant and asked: "Why are you looking for her for?"

Officer Chen said: "There have been several homicides in Yang City. After we investigated, we found that Hou Qixuan was probably the key suspect in these murders, so we found here and wanted to take her to the bureau for questioning. "

The female factory director opened her mouth wide when she heard her, and said, "Why? How could it be? She is usually so gentle and impossible to kill. However, she took a vacation at noon yesterday, so she didn't come to work today."

Leng Yu frowned and asked, "Then do you know where she went?"

The female director said: "I heard Xiaoxin say that she took time off to celebrate her birthday."

Celebrating birthday?

Hou Peiting has been an orphan without a father and no mother since she ran away from home, so does her birthday matter to her?

Where will she celebrate her birthday alone now?

Leng Yu's eyes were piercing, and he asked again: "Have you heard that she has any other relatives?"

The female factory manager was stared at her with cold hair and said: "I don't know, none of us knows the situation in her family, and she never tells it."

Leng Yu asked again: "Then, who is Xiaoxin you just mentioned?"

"She? She is also a seamstress in our factory, and she is more compatible with Hou Qixuan." The female factory director said.

Leng Yu said quickly: "You will let her come over immediately, we have something to ask her."

When the female factory manager called Xiaoxin, Leng Yu quietly said to Officer Chen: "If there is another dead person, she will not run too far, she should still be in Yang City."

Officer Chen asked: "What if President Zheng is the last to die? She was on vacation yesterday, and I don't know where she went at the moment, so where do we go to catch people?"

While the two were discussing, Xiaoxin had already stepped into the office. When she raised her eyes to see Leng Yu, her heart trembled.

This is what Cheng Ge told him, she is the cold-faced demon in the Federal Bureau and cannot be offended easily.

Leng Yu quickly scanned Xiao Xin with a pair of cold eyes, remembering that she was the other seamstress who had been to the Federal Bureau with Hou Peiting.

She didn't say much to Xiaoxin, just asked: "Hou Qixuan told you who she celebrated her birthday with?"

Xiaoxin looked at Leng Yu's cold eyes and opened her mouth wide, but she couldn't say a word.

After meeting, Police Officer Chen asked in a low voice, "Xiaoxin, did Hou Qixuan tell you who she was celebrating her birthday with today?"

Xiaoxin woke up from a daze after hearing Officer Chen's question. She nodded and said, "What she said was with someone she loves very much."

Leng Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is this person a man or a woman?"

When Xiaoxin looked at Leng Yu, she stammered: "I... I don't know, she didn't say either."

Leng Yu sneered twice and asked the female director: "How long has Hou Qixuan been working here?"

The female factory director answered truthfully: "She has worked here for 4 years."

Leng Yu gave an "um" and asked, "Then, besides ordering police uniforms for the Federal Bureau, who else did you order for uniforms?"

The female factory director said: "I also ordered a uniform for a mental hospital."

Leng Yu asked again: "So, right after Hou Qixuan started to work, did her first batch of uniforms be made for this mental hospital?"

The female director nodded and said, "Yes... But... But how do you know?"

After Leng Yu got her affirmation, the last mystery in her heart was finally solved.

She said: "Give us the address of this mental hospital!"

The female factory manager heard her hurriedly and quickly found the address of the mental hospital and handed it to Leng Yu.

After reading the above address carefully, Leng Yu wrote down secretly, then turned to Officer Chen and said, "We will go over immediately, Hou Qixuan is there!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly left the factory director's office and walked to the exit of the factory.

Officer Chen caught up with her and asked, "So, what about the police officers who stayed here?"

Leng Yu said, "Let them go with us. There is nothing wrong with us here."

Then, she took out the phone and dialed Xiao Cheng. The opposite Xiao Cheng answered Leng Yu's call and said first: "Boss, I'm about to call you, I have news here!"

Leng Yu said, "Let's talk about it."

Xiao Cheng said quickly: "Brother Cheng said that the uniform for the Federal Bureau is the'Rongrong' clothing factory, and then he also said that the woman named Sister Xuan has red marks on her fingers."

The news he said strengthened Leng Yu's guess.

Leng Yu nodded and said, "Well, that's okay. Officer Chen and I are rushing to a mental hospital. If we have anything to do, we will contact us on the phone."

She didn't wait for Xiao Cheng to answer, so she closed the phone.

Seeing that she had finished the call, Police Officer Chen asked, "Officer Leng, how did you know that Hou Qixuan is in the mental hospital and what is she doing there?"

Leng Yu curled her lips and said: "Xiaoxin just said that she asked for leave to celebrate her birthday, and she is celebrating a birthday for someone now!"

Officer Chen became more amazed as he listened, and said, "But why do you have to celebrate your birthday in a mental hospital?"

Leng Yu replied, "Because there is a beloved person there, you will know when you arrive, and the red fabric on the shirt is also dedicated to this person she loves most."

Officer Chen opened his eyes wide. After glancing in Leng Yu's direction, he stopped when he saw that the other party didn't want to continue.

***

In the XX Mental Hospital in Yang City, a nurse was whispering with another nurse: "Hey, look, she's here again, this time she brought her a birthday cake."

The nurse nodded and said, "Oh, she comes here to see her every day through ups and downs, but does she know her painstaking efforts?"

The nurse who spoke first shook her head and said, "She has suffered from such a serious mental illness, how can she know her painstaking efforts again?"

Another nurse said softly: "A relative like Hou Qixuan is rare in the world. Look, besides her, who else here will come here to accompany you to see your relatives every day?"

"But, apart from Hou Qixuan, Hou Peiting seems to have no other relatives..." the nurse said.

The two wentssiping in a low voice for a while, and suddenly heard some noise at the front desk, and quickly turned their heads to see that a man in a police uniform and a tall woman with a frosty face came in, moving slightly in their hearts.

What happened? Will another mental patient be escorted by the police?

However, this situation does not look like it, because their arrival has already alarmed the dean. I saw that tall woman was talking to the dean with a serious expression.

Then, they were soon taken by the dean to a canteen behind the mental hospital.

When they passed by the two nurses, Leng Yu turned his head and glanced at them quickly, and walked past them to the backyard.

After a few minutes, only one woman was escorted out of the cafeteria by Leng Yu and others.

The two nurses looked up at them with curiosity in their eyes. After they walked away, the two looked at each other and asked, "What happened to them? Why did they take Hou Qixuan away like this?"

At this time, Hou Qixuan, who was held by Leng Yu and others, suddenly said: "Let me celebrate my birthday with her. From now on, you can treat me whatever you want."

Leng Yu turned to look at Hou Qixuan, and saw that there was no expression on her face. For a long time, she seemed to see a plea in Hou Qixuan's eyes.

So she nodded and said, "Well, go."

Then, she turned to Officer Chen and said, "Just look at her."

After Leng Yu finished speaking, he turned around and stepped out of the mental hospital, then walked to a secret corner, and sighed slightly.

They finally met again after being separated for so long.

However, after seeing her sister's situation, Hou Qixuan slowly understood her ups and downs, and finally began to slowly deploy the plan, gradually pushing herself on the path of crime, and at the same time pushing herself to the gate of ghosts.

However, she never regretted it. .
