Chapter 44 Old Chen is a bit suspicious
Hearing what the black-faced male police officer said, my heart suddenly felt warm. The anger I felt when he forced me to look at the photos of the corpse quickly dissipated a lot.
Of course, I didn’t want to take the initiative to call the police if I ran into trouble one day, but I still expressed my gratitude to him for his kindness.
"Officer Luo, I will save your mobile phone number," I nodded towards the male police officer named Luo Feng and continued, "No matter how you investigate this case, I can guarantee that this case is still with me.
Lao Chen really doesn't have much to do with it. We just want to sell the house and earn some dividends. When you solve the case, don't always focus on us, that might be a waste of time..."
"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry to disturb your rest tonight and let you see those photos. Do you want me to take you back?" Luo Feng asked me very embarrassed.
I shook my head and said, "No, no, I came here in Lao Chen's car. He said he was too tired these days and his nerves were too tense, so he wanted to take a hot bath to relieve himself. He was still waiting in the bathing center.
I, if nothing happens, I will go back and continue to rest..."
"Okay, then go ahead!"
I got out of the car, and before Luo Feng drove away, he stuck his head out the window to say hello to me, and then he drove away.
Standing at the entrance of the bathing center, I was blown by the cold wind and my mind became clearer.
Soon, I figured out something...
It seems that Luo Feng came to see me tonight late at night because he wanted to get the amulet. He probably suspected that the thing was on me and Lao Chen?
Perhaps, he really pinned the key to solving the case on that important missing piece of evidence.
But the problem is, I don’t know if he has chosen the right direction to solve the case by focusing on the amulet?
I don't know much about solving crimes, but it was really cold outside, and soon I sneezed hard!
I was sweating all over while sitting in the police car just now. When I came out, I was blown by the cold wind. I felt really cold. If I didn't go in, I would inevitably catch a cold.
So, I walked quickly back to the bathing center...
It's already 11 o'clock at night, and there are very few customers in the bathing center.
Most of the guests who come here come here to take a bath, and not many people actually stay overnight.
I walked all the way back to the rest area and didn't see anyone. The corridors were empty, there weren't many guests in the rest area, and many beds were vacant.
When I fumbled to find the bed where I was originally lying, I saw that Lao Chen had actually come back and was still lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.
After sitting on the bed, I pushed Lao Chen!
He seemed to be sleeping soundly. I pushed him several times and then he rubbed his eyes and looked at me.
"Xiao Ma, you... you're not sleeping, why are you pushing me?!" Lao Chen asked inarticulately.
Seeing that Lao Chen woke up, I asked him in a low voice: "Hey, what did you do just now?"
"……ah?!"
Lao Chen was so sleepy that he didn't seem to hear what I was saying?
"Old Chen, let me ask you, what were you doing more than half an hour ago?" I had no choice but to ask again.
This time, Lao Chen probably understood.
He shook his head and said, "I just lay here and slept, didn't I go anywhere?"
At first hearing, I thought Lao Chen was asleep, so I asked again: "When I got up just now, I saw that your bed was empty. Did you go to the toilet? Why did you go there for so long?"
"No, I've been sleeping here and haven't gone anywhere!" Lao Chen didn't finish hearing my question. He also sat up and looked at me, "Xiao Ma, what do you mean by not sleeping at night?"
!”
"No, your bed was empty before I went out just now?" I said casually.
"You went out, what did you go out for?!" Lao Chen asked immediately.
"I……"
Originally, I wanted to tell the truth to Lao Chen, but the policeman named Luo Feng and the female police officer came to question me again just now, but now I feel that Lao Chen is sleeping in a dazed state, so I have no intention of talking to him.
Talk too much.
Maybe even if you say it, he won't listen.
Thinking of this, I waved my hand at Old Chen: "Forget it, let's talk about it at dawn tomorrow. You can continue to sleep!"
"Well, okay..."
Lao Chen didn't think much, lay down again and covered himself with a towel.
Within a few seconds, he snored and fell asleep again.
I also lay back on the bed, covered myself with the white towel quilt provided by the bath center, and prepared to continue sleeping.
It’s strange, why does this night feel so long?!
I just closed my eyes here, lying on my back thinking about something...
However……
After only about four or five minutes, I felt someone tapping my arm gently.
The movement was very gentle and did not seem to be hostile.
I wasn't asleep at the time, so I opened my eyes all of a sudden!
I saw a waiter standing next to my bed, as if he wanted to say something to me?
I know this waiter. When I left here just now, I asked him to do me a favor. That is, when I saw Lao Chen coming back, I asked him to help me tell Lao Chen that I was out.
But now this guy wakes me up quietly, what does he want to say to me?
"you……"
Before I could ask a question, the waiter raised his hand, put his finger on his mouth, and made a "shush" gesture towards me.
Moreover, he looked at Lao Chen lying next to me with a very strange look.
hiss……
What does this... mean?
I'm not stupid either, I guessed his thoughts in the next second...
Probably he wanted to say something to me alone, but it was best to avoid Lao Chen and not let Lao Chen hear him.
So I sat up from the bed, gently got off the floor and put on my slippers, and followed the waiter out of the rest area.
When I walked four or five meters away, I deliberately looked back at Lao Chen, who was sleeping soundly. It seemed that he had not been awakened by us.
Just like that, I followed the waiter out of the rest area.
Walking four or five meters further, there is the tea area, where the waiters bring drinks and tea to the rest area.
And there is a row of simple tables and chairs here, the kind made of plastic, with one table and four chairs, and the table and chairs are all connected together.
Normally, guests could sit there and drink tea, but it was too late now, there was no one in the tea area, and all the tables and chairs were empty.
Maybe it's because there's no one here, so the waiter called me here to tell me something?
But……
Chapter completed!
