Chapter 53 The Night Was Deep

  Shen Zhong had actually gotten married, and his wife was so beautiful that I suddenly felt a little down. I walked into the house in a daze, but instead of looking around at the layout of the whole place, I sat down on the sofa in a bit of a trance.

  The soft leather makes me feel drowsy.

  "Homi, you've been staying here for the past two days. Two more days and all the cases will be closed." The heavy voice awakened my thoughts, I stared at his face in a daze, and suddenly came to my senses.

  "Homi, what are you doing? You can't even be considered a fleeting acquaintance, and besides, other people have already gotten married!" I scolded myself severely in my heart, then tried to put on a natural expression as much as possible. I nodded slightly.

  At this time, Bai Mei was no longer here, and should have gone to clean up the room for me.

  Shen Zhong laughed and continued, "Let's continue from where we left off earlier. There must be another room between the basement and the library, perhaps it's a two-story underground building. Liu Yamei was killed inside, then her body was thrown out."

  I nodded unnaturally, I heard Liu Yamei's gasps and cries for help when I was taken away by Shen Zhong from the underground passage, but it was only one or two hours later, within that time, Liu Yamei died.

  Shen Zhong continued to speak, "The murderer is showing off in front of me." His words were extremely calm, but to my ears, they sounded like thunder, and I looked at Shen Zhong with a pale face.

  "He narrowed his eyes heavily, his fingers circling around each other non-stop, and then said word by word: 'This murderer is not only extremely arrogant in his heart, but also extremely perverted.'"

  "That's right, he's a pervert!" I exclaimed loudly. After finishing speaking, I was stunned, my reaction seemed to be a bit too intense, but thinking of the principal and his daughter's death, as well as Huang Weiwei who had gone missing, I became determined again.

  After a slight pause, he continued: "During this time period, you were in the underground passageway, and 'Liu Ke' was the only one who couldn't be ruled out as being at the police station."

  As expected, he still suspected that it was one of us three people. My face turned a bit unsightly as I shook my head, but I didn't refute him.

  Shen Zhong continued, "The murderer left behind very obvious clues. In two days, I should be able to crack the case and catch him. From the daytime chase, both of us have been in a state of extreme danger for these two days. So you can't go anywhere, you can only stay here with me."

  "Is it safe here?" I asked. "Those people dared to drive and hit someone in broad daylight, and sneak into a civilian's home to kill them, shouldn't that be an easy thing to do as well?"

  "This is the family area of the homicide unit. No one dares to come in here, even if he's the head of a national gang, he has to consider the consequences of 'provoking' all public servants in the country, gang rivalry, and not touching family members, he dares to come in, neither black nor white can have a place for him." Shen Zhong said firmly.

  "But he's a psychopathic killer, slaughtered hundreds in broad daylight, the principal died a terrible death, and over a dozen police officers..." I didn't finish my sentence, but Shen's heavy confidence seemed to inflate slightly, however, this place should be safe.

  This time, you were excluded, and so were Liu Ke and Chen Yan 'Lu', on the side of Chen Yan 'Lu', I have entrusted my colleague to help me investigate, but Liu Ke——" Shen heavy closed his mouth, and I became an ant on a hot pot.

  "What's wrong with Liu Ke?" I asked again.

  Shen Zhong fell silent, and at this moment, I suddenly heard Bai Mei's voice. It turned out that on this first floor, there was a wooden staircase in the center of the living room. Bai Mei stood on the stairs, waving at Shen Zhong while also smiling kindly at me. I felt somewhat unnatural and lowered my head to glance at my own chest, then let out a sigh.

  I followed Shen Chong up the stairs.

  The western-style house indeed only had three rooms, two small bedrooms on either side as guest rooms, and the one in the middle with a huge balcony was the master bedroom, which belonged to Shen Zhong and his wife. I stayed in the right room, and Shen Zhong told me that he would come to call me when it was time for dinner, now, let me take a rest for a while.

  I walked into the room and fell onto the bed with some fatigue.

  My mind was still thinking about the conversation I had with Shen Zhong earlier, and he had already told me a lot of things, but there were also many things that hadn't been said. What was Liu Yamei's cause of death? Where was her body now? And why did they rule out my involvement this time? Liu Ke was the most suspicious one, what kind of confidence did he have to crack the case within two days?" My head felt a bit dizzy, the room was dimly lit, and the black curtains blocked the window, also blocking the light. It was quite dark. I thought to myself that the bed sheet seemed to have a faint rose scent on it, and when I took a deep sniff, I couldn't help but think of Bai Mei's face again, her perfect face. Suddenly, I felt a bit hot and wanted to take a shower.

  The bathroom is right in the room, directly opposite the showerhead, with a huge mirror that can reflect the whole person. I took off my clothes and stood under the showerhead, hot water gushing down from my head, wet hair clinging to my forehead, I rubbed and massaged my face hard, the scalding water made me feel refreshed.

  Looking at the body in the mirror, I shook my head violently, forcing myself not to look anymore. Perhaps for ordinary people, it's already beautiful enough? But for Bai Mei, it's simply too far off.

  My legs felt a bit weak, after washing the bath, I dried my body and lay on the bed with some weakness, and fell asleep.

  I was awakened by a gentle knock on the door. When I opened it, I found Bai Mei standing in front of me, wearing a silk nightgown that barely concealed her slender figure.

  "Let's go, dinner is ready." Bai Mei gently pulled my hand, I stumbled and followed behind her, the woman's fragrance constantly stimulating my nostrils.

  The dinner was sumptuous, and Shen Chong also changed his clothes. However, judging from his appearance, it seemed that he had cooked this meal himself.

  Dinner was tasteless and I felt like an outsider. Shen He and Bai Mei were like a world of their own, excluding me.

  After finishing dinner, I returned to my room again. What made me involuntarily self-deprecating was that the heavy face in my mind became clearer and clearer, and the faint tobacco flavor seemed to take root on my nose wing. Dazed and confused, I fell asleep again.

  As I fell asleep, I seemed to hear a faint sigh, and then there was a subtle rose fragrance that entered my nostrils. I struggled to open my eyes, and then I felt for my phone. When I looked at the time, it was already 2 o'clock in the morning.

  The sound of panting was faint, Bai Mei? My face turned red and I wanted to cover my ears, Shen Chong and Bai Mei were just next door, Shen Chong was so young, and Bai Mei was so beautiful, wasn't this normal? But I still couldn't bear the curiosity in my heart, quietly sticking my ear to the wall near Shen Chong's room.

  The cold wall made my spirit shake, and the sound beside my ear became much clearer. It was Bai Mei's voice! I swallowed hard and pushed open my own door with a flushed face. The gasping sound grew stronger, accompanied by a faint, mournful howl.

  I furrowed my brow, but immediately felt relieved. The husband and wife's business had nothing to do with me; they could play however they wanted, I just needed to take a look and that was it. I comforted myself like this: who made you two not go back to your room to sleep in the middle of the night?

  The soundproofing of the foreign house is not very good, after all, it's an old building. I carefully made my way along the corridor, and the intensity of the gasping sounds was far beyond my imagination. I immediately returned to the room inside, not daring to go out again or listen again.

  I covered my ears with a quilt and used force, I don't know how long it took, but the sound finally stopped. I also fell asleep with difficulty.

  The next morning, when Bai Mei called me to get out of bed, she was visibly tired. During breakfast, she and Shen Zhong sat together, their faces very unnatural. Without eating two mouthfuls, she ran back to her room. Shen Zhong's face was fine, but he seemed not to have expected Bai Mei to leave suddenly, looking somewhat anxiously in the direction of the room.

  I lowered my head to drink porridge, ignoring the two of them. Then, Shen suddenly said to me, "Today I'm going out and won't be back tonight. I have to wait until tomorrow when the results come out. You must remember, don't leave this house."

  "I get it." I interrupted Shen Chong's words, then let out a sigh and looked at him with a somewhat playful gaze.

  Frowning heavily, asking what's wrong with me?

  I shook my head, shrugged and then returned to my own room as well.

  Shen said that the results will be out tomorrow, so the murderer will be found? Today and tomorrow are just two days. Staying here for two days, after returning to school the day after tomorrow, I'll still be me, and Shen and I will only have met once, with no further contact.

  I lay bored for a whole morning, and at noon, Bai Mei called me to eat lunch, but she had been frowning all along. As a woman, I naturally understand women's thoughts. Looking at Bai Mei's appearance, my first thought was that something had gone wrong between her and Shen Chong. I furrowed my brow, unsure whether or not to ask her.

  Unexpectedly, Bai Mei put down the bowl in her hand and reluctantly said to me, "There is a TV and computer in the living room. You can play with them when you're bored. I'm going to rest in my room."

  Bai Mei finished speaking and left. After I finished eating, I simply put the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen and washed them briefly before coming to the living room...

  At this time...
