Chapter 27 Buying a House



She lifted her hair up on purpose, and a scent of shampoo came from behind her, which was the scent of her body.

Zhou Ziheng's body tensed up involuntarily, and then he fell silent.

Lu Xiangxiang curled his lips. What? This guy is still silent.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she also kept silent.

I thought I should get a bicycle when I have time, otherwise it would be inconvenient to go to and from get off work every day and I would have to get off so early.

With a bicycle, I can get home in ten minutes and it is more convenient to go anywhere, which is better than walking.

I have the money, but the train ticket is hard to get.

How about buying one on the black market? Before I think about that, I should first think about finding a place to live.

Of course, it is better to buy a house, and it would be even better if there is a courtyard house.

But housing is very tight now, and you can’t buy a courtyard house even if you want to.

If you have time, go to the street office to see if there are any houses for rent. Everything else is just wishful thinking.

Outside the Public Security Bureau, Lu Xiangxiang got out of the car and Zhou Ziheng walked in.

When she passed the door, she greeted the police officer on duty at the front desk, and then she went straight to the office.

She took out an enamel cup from the bag she carried with her and placed it on the table. She sat down and tidied up the table, then waited boredly for everyone to go to work.

Today, Zhou Ziheng had brought her here earlier than yesterday. Suddenly, a man walked by and came to Lu Xiangxiang's desk. "Comrade Lu, are you used to it?"

"Director Qin, you're adapting well." She stood up and said to him.

"That's good. If you have any difficulties, please tell Uncle Qin."

She nodded.

She was a little girl and he was an old married man, so it was not appropriate for them to have too much private contact. So he turned and left.

She sat down and sighed. Director Qin was really too polite to her. She understood that all this was thanks to her master. She would definitely visit her teacher during her next break.

Everyone arrived at eight o'clock, and Zhang Mingwei and his friends brought breakfast with them.

"Captain Zhou Xiangxiang, good morning." They greeted Lu Xiangxiang one by one.

"You came at the right time. How is the investigation going?" Zhou Ziheng didn't waste any time talking to them and asked them to tell him what they had investigated.

"We went to Dong Wenzhen's home. Dong Wenzhen is 20 years old and a middle school teacher. She was dating a man and they were about to get married. Her man also had an alibi. One day, he disappeared on his way home from get off work. Afterwards, her family called the police, but they couldn't find any trace of Dong Wenzhen. In addition, she had a scar on her arm. It was when she was taken to her grandfather's house in the countryside to work on the farm when she was a child. The scar is still there." Zhang Mingwei was the first to speak.

Lu Xiangxiang's eyes widened as she recalled the details of the corpse. If she remembered correctly, there was indeed a scar on the corpse's arm.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Ziheng had been paying attention to her and asked when he saw that she was acting strangely.

"The deceased did have scars."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay, let's go find someone from the Dong family to perform an autopsy today." After that, everyone started to act.

Zhou Ziheng applied for a car from the director. Dong Wenzhen's home was thirty kilometers away. Bicycles were not enough to invite her family over. Moreover, this case had been pending for a long time, so they had to take action.

After they left, Lu Xiangxiang thought there was no body that needed to be dissected, so he glanced at the ground and went to get some things to clean up, otherwise he would have nothing to do here.

About an hour later, Zhou Ziheng and his friends came back, bringing Dong Wenzhen's parents with them.

He motioned Lu Xiangxiang to follow him. He had given her the key to the autopsy room yesterday, and now the key was with her.

Dong Wenzhen's parents were a middle-aged man and woman in their forties. Their faces were pale at this moment, especially Dong Wenzhen's mother, whose eyes were red, and it seemed that she had already cried in the car.

Lu Xiangxiang took out the key and opened the door. The smell in the room was extremely bad, it was the smell of a rotting corpse.

Lu Xiangxiang was already used to the smell, but Dong's father and mother were not yet used to it. However, they had no time to think about it because they saw the corpse covered under the white cloth.

She walked forward and uncovered the body. The head had been dissected to confirm the cause of death, so the rest of the body was still intact.

When they saw the body, they felt a little sorry, but all the clothes on the body were the same clothes their daughter was wearing on the day she disappeared.

"How about it?"

"Yes, yes, this is the dress my daughter was wearing when she disappeared. The shoes on her feet were bought with my salary this month. They cost more than ten yuan a pair. I thought they were too expensive at the time, but my daughter really likes to use them and they are the money she saved, so I can't do anything about it." Dong's mother said with tears in her eyes, her voice choked, and she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Yes, it's her."

After confirming the body, the Dong couple both burst into tears. Nothing could be more painful for them than losing their daughter in middle age.

They had finally raised their daughter and sent her to school. This was enough to show that Dong Wenzhen was cherished by them. When she was 20 years old, she found a boyfriend through an introduction and had a good relationship with him. They were about to get married, but her daughter suddenly disappeared.

They can accept that she was abducted, but they can never accept that she was separated from her husband by the Yin and Yang.

The two of them cried so hard that they were out of breath, especially Dong's mother who almost fainted.

The next second she really fainted. Lu Xiangxiang hurried over to support her, and Zhou Ziheng also moved with her.

Their movements overlapped, his large hands gripping her smaller ones.

Unlike men's rough hands, girls' hands are incredibly soft.

Zhou Ziheng quickly let go, as if he continued to hold it, he would be suspected of taking advantage.

This was just a small episode, and Lu Xiangxiang didn't take it to heart. What she didn't know was that the man next to her had red ears.

Lu Xiangxiang didn't think too much about it. She first unbuttoned two buttons on Dong's mother's clothes, and then pinched her Ren Zhong point. Dong's mother woke up under her first aid measures, but there were still tears in her eyes.

Seeing the two crying like this, they couldn't let them stay here any longer, so they pulled the Dong couple away separately.

After arriving at her seat, she asked Zhang Mingwei to pour her a glass of water with some sugar in it.

The couple lay on the table and cried breathlessly. She brought some sugar water and asked them to drink it.

About an hour later, the couple calmed down, and Zhou Ziheng finally spoke: "What happened has become a fact, and your daughter will never come back. But you must find the murderer who killed your daughter and give her justice."

The couple stopped crying now. They hated the person who dared to hurt their daughter.

They began to talk about the people who had grudges against their daughter, and those who heard the news looked at each other.

"Next we will split up."
