after fang zikai left, fang zicheng and fang taoran watched the BBC documentary for an hour. he looked at the time. it was time to go find lu yinxi. fang zicheng told fang taoran, â iâm going out on a date too. i wonât be back for dinner. â
fang taoran was speechless.
i really want to grow up, i really want to fall in love, i really want to date!
fang zicheng went back to his room to change his clothes. a moment later, a young man in a white shirt and black pants, with a light blue long trench coat on his arm, walked over from the courtyard.
fang taoran stared at her brother and said, â big brother, youâre so cunning! â he asked the little brother to dress casually to go on a date, but he dressed especially well to go on a date with his sister-in-law.
he was really a scheming man!
fang zicheng was indeed dressed handsomely today. he was wearing a white shirt and looked as cold as ever, but he did not look as unapproachable as he usually did. in their youth, handsome boys in white shirts were all scheming men!
fang zicheng pretended not to hear his sisterâs words and strode out of the house.
when fang zicheng reached mansion number seven, the door opened from the inside and a volkswagen drove out. fang zicheng stood where he was, watching the car drive out.
the car window rolled down in front of him, revealing the side profile of the man inside.
he was very handsome and young, and his expression was slightly cold.
â brother dongli, â fang zicheng called out to the man.
dongli ao, who was already 22 years old, looked almost like his father.
dongli ao turned to look at fang zicheng and asked, â where are you going, xiao cheng? if itâs on the way, i can give you a ride. â
â iâm going to nanshan road, â said fang zicheng.
dongli ao opened the car door and said, â get in. â
fang zicheng did not stand on ceremony with dongli ao and got into his car.
dongli ao was five or six years older than fang zicheng. he had already graduated from university and was currently an intern police officer at a nearby police station. fang zicheng sat in the front passenger seat and fastened his seat belt. he asked dongli ao, â where are you going, brother dongli? â
âiâm going to work.â
fang zicheng didnât ask him why he went to work at this time. he wasnât a curious person.
however, dong li ao said, â itâs a little worrying. thereâs been a murder in the area weâre in charge of. â
âoh?â fang zicheng was not curious, but he still asked, â what kind of case? â
dongli aoâs expression was a little serious. â itâs a little cruel. the higher-ups are very concerned about this case.â seeing that fang zicheng had no intention of asking further, donglio explained, â this case is a little strange. the victim is a 23-year-old woman. the time of death is estimated to be at nine o âclock this morning. the victim was living alone in a rented apartment. when he died, his body was kneeling on the ground. the deceased died from excessive blood loss, and the fatal wound was on the neck.â
when dongli ao said that the victim had died on his knees, fang zichengâs expression changed slightly.
when he heard that the fatal wound was on the neck, fang zichengâs breathing slowed down.
old memories flashed through fang zichengâs mind.
seeing fang zichengâs serious expression, donglio said, â you still remember that case, donât you? â
âi remember.â
âi knew it. you always have a good memory. although you were only five years old at that time, youâre different from us. youâve been smart since you were young and your memory is the best. i knew you would remember.â
after that, dongli ao sighed and said, â boss lu is a good man. i still remember the taste of their steamed buns. i like them very much. when i was studying, i would always buy a tray of their steamed buns in the morning ... â
dong li ao was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, â if the murderer is the same person, then itâs really ... â the deceased had died many years ago, but the murderer had been at large. no matter how one thought about it, it was chilling.
fang zicheng and dongli ao had the same thought.
fang zicheng thought of this when he heard dongli ao mention this. if the murderer this time was the same person who had killed lu yinxiâs parents more than a decade ago, then the murderer was really capable. it was fine if he didnât hide after killing someone, but after so many years, he had committed another murder, and even the method of murder had not changed.
just thinking about it made oneâs hair stand up.
but ...
seeing that fang zicheng was deep in thought, dongli ao knew what he was thinking. he added, â but itâs also possible that the murderer is imitating the murder this time. â
âwhat?â fang zichengâs body moved.
âthatâs possible.â
perhaps the murderer was just as dongli ao had guessed, imitating the crime. perhaps the murderer had heard that the murder case in binjiang city twelve years ago had become an unsolved case.
after the murderer understood the details of the murder, he deliberately imitated the murdererâs crime in an attempt to blur the policeâs vision.
fang zicheng hoped the situation was the latter.
if it was the former ...
âoh, thatâs right.â dongli ao thought of something and said, â even if i didnât see you today, i was planning to meet you. â
âis there something you need?â
âi have something to do.â dongli ao stopped the car by the side of the road. it seemed like he was going to talk business. fang zicheng turned his head and stared at dongli ao. â whatâs the matter? â he asked lightly.
âback then, did boss lu have a child in his house? what was his name again? boy or girl?â it had been so long that fang zicheng couldnât really remember the situation of boss luâs family back then. he only vaguely remembered that there was a child at his house.
âa girl.â fang zichengâs heart skipped a beat, and his cold and indifferent face suddenly became a little more vicious. âyouâre saying that sheâll be in danger?â
â iâm just worried, â dongli ao said.
âhow could this be ...â
fang zicheng felt that the murderer was too vicious.
it had been so many years. was the murderer still not willing to let lu yinxi go?
dong li ao said, â if the murderer is really the same person from back then, i suggest that we strengthen the protection of that girl just to be on the safe side. the murdererâs method of killing is very perverted. no one can guarantee that he wonât have the intention to kill and hurt the child.â
âbesides, the murderer must be in hiding now. he killed boss lu back then, but let the little girl go. we donât know what happened. however, the little girl from back then had also forgotten any memories related to that disaster. but this time, the murderer has committed another murder. who do you think is the person she fears the most?â
fang zicheng didnât say anything, but his expression turned even uglier.
â itâs not the police, â dong li ao said. â itâs the only survivor from the murder case back then. â
fang zicheng felt a chill down his spine.
âiâm looking for you because i remember that you were on good terms back then. boss lu even saved your family. all of these are just my guesses. the police would not strengthen the protection of that girl just because of my guesses. if youâre still in contact with that girl, i hope you can help take care of her. she saved your life.â
