C86 (1/2)
The two of them went up the stairs one after the other.
This building was relatively new and had surveillance cameras.
The police had taken surveillance footage of the last week and found that at 11: 00 that night, the girl had left the house and never returned.
Today was the third day since she disappeared. She didn't come back until the evening.
The landlord didn't know Liu Xiang's name because he had rented the house under his name and Liu Xiang's girlfriend hadn't been with him for long.
Xiao He knocked on the door.
Jiang Han thought to himself that the last time he entered, he was brazenly showing off, but this time he became so courteous. Wasn't this a bit too hypocritical?
Xiao He felt a little embarrassed. He had been careless at that time and did not know that there were still people living inside.
Finally, someone opened the door.
The girl was wearing an apron, as if she was cooking.
Previously, when they were outside, when they were looking into the distance and the light wasn't too good, Jiang Han didn't feel anything from the girls' appearances. He only felt that they were worth their looks.
Xiao He and the others were standing outside the door and could smell the fragrance of food. It was already so late, why was he still cooking?
This woman's recent movements were quite strange.
The girl stood by the door with a strange expression on her face. She looked at Xiao He and Jiang Han with a confused expression.
”Hello.” Xiao He took the initiative to extend his hand.
”You … ”Hello.” The girl shook it back, her actions somewhat stiff.
”You are?” Although she was confused, she did not seem afraid.
”We are from the Ling An Public Security Bureau.” As he spoke, Jiang Han took out his identification card.
The girl nodded, ”Then...” ”Then please come in.”
They sat on the sofa that they had checked the day before.
Since he didn't know the location of the first scene, Xiao Yan had no choice but to be careful. Even if there were some minute marks on it, he wouldn't let them go.
”The landlord told me that you came to search my house?” The girl asked as she poured water.
”Something like that.” Jiang Han was planning on saying a few perfunctory words.
”Anyway, we don't know your name yet.” Xiao He tried to change the topic.
”Don't know?” If you don't know, why would you dare to search? ” The female student's voice sounded somewhat sharp and her tone carried a hint of ridicule. It made Xiao He and Jiang Han finally lower their heads like two primary school students who had done something wrong.
It looked like she had come prepared, and it was also possible that she was truly innocent and fearless.
The water was brought to the tea table.
”My name is Lin Ziyang, Yang Zijiang.”
Xiao He said:
”Miss Lin, I am truly sorry about the matter last time. At that time, we only knew that this was Liu Xiang's residence. So, could you show your identity card?” Ever since the experience with Yang Xue, everyone had been much more careful during their interviews.
The girl looked at him and went back into the bedroom.
Then he came out and handed his ID over to Xiao He.
The name's right. Shaw nodded.
”What do you want to know?” The girl took back her ID, not hesitating in the slightest.
”You … Were you just cooking? ” Xiao He turned to look at the kitchen.
”Yes.”
”Eating so late?”
”Yeah, because I just got home a bit later today.” Lin Zi said without raising her head.
But such an answer was almost the same as not answering at all.
”Is Liu Xiang your boyfriend?” Xiao He asked. Although the matter was already very obvious, he still wanted to confirm it.
”Yes.” What's wrong? Are you here to investigate his death? ”
”Yes, how do you know he's dead?” Xiao He was curious about this.
”I don't know, he just never came back. Everyone in the circle said something happened to him.” Lin Ziyang's head was slightly lowered, as if there was some unspeakable pain.
”Why didn't you report him missing?”
”Because the things that he did, were not proper. So he kept telling me that if he went missing, don't go looking for him, and don't report him. ”
