Han Tuo squatted on the ground and looked at the half footprint on the ground with the bright light of the flashlight.
I raised my head again and looked around the room, and I had a general idea of what was going on.
Detective Xiao Tan came over quickly and looked at Han Tuo's white gloves and shoe covers. The material of those gloves and shoe covers looked several grades higher than those used by the police in their small town. In addition, Han Tuo's every move seemed so professional and precise. Xiao Tan couldn't help but praise: "Brother Han! If you hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known that you were also a criminal police officer in BJ! This technique, wow... How is it, did you find anything?"
Han Tuo stood up. Next to him were several policemen who looked curious and expectant. Of course, there are also times when one is at a loss.
The small town is located in a remote area and there has been no murder case in decades. It is understandable that the overall criminal investigation level of these police officers is not high. At first, it was because Han Tuo saw their clumsy exploration techniques and nervous expressions after they arrived that he asked Luo Xiao to wait outside the house while he went up.
Actually, I shouldn’t have gone there.
I have long decided to say goodbye to everything in the past. But the detective's blood, once flowing in his body for a day, seems to never really cool down.
What's more, seeing such a violent and bloody crime scene, he couldn't help but feel itchy.
Men are always addicted to a few things. He doesn't have a girlfriend yet, so it's okay for him to break the rules occasionally.
Thinking of this, Han Tuo felt as if a cool breeze was blowing through his heart. His sharp eyes stared at the corpse on the ground, and his mind seemed to become clearer.
"The murderer is a woman." said Han Tuo.
The town police were all stunned.
"No, no way..." Xiao Tan's face changed, "How can a woman be so cruel!"
Han Tuo sneered: "Don't you know? Women can be several times more cruel than men. What's this? It's far from what I've seen..." In the end, he didn't say anything else. He ignored the curious eyes of the police and pointed to the door: "When the body was found, there was no sign of damage to the main door, doors and windows. The neighbors didn't hear any noise either - the murderer and the deceased knew each other."
The police nodded.
"When the body was found, the lower body was naked. The deceased, Xie Hua, was tall and strong, but there were no signs of a struggle in the room. It is very likely that he was killed while sleeping. But his pants and underwear were taken off intact and thrown on the bedside. There were semen stains on the inside of his thighs, so..."
Xiao Tan suddenly realized: "Could it be... that he was killed by the woman he slept with!"
Han Tuo nodded and said, "Of course, a man can sleep with a woman or a man. The decisive evidence is the footprints on the ground." He pointed to the pool of blood next to the body and said, "There are several footprints here, belonging to the same woman, stained with blood, size 37, cloth shoes. She is between 165-175 cm tall, weighs 90-110 catties, and is thin. Judging from her steps, she is young or middle-aged, that is, between 20-40 years old. The murderer chopped off Xie Hua's penis, which shows that he hates this thing and must have been emotionally hurt. Go find the woman who is related to the deceased Xie Hua, who is entangled in love, money, and hatred. And ask the surrounding neighbors to see if there are any witnesses. The town is so small, focus on checking their alibis this afternoon."
Xiao Tan and the others' eyes widened: "Brother Han, you are amazing! You have deduced so much just by looking at two footprints! Haha, we now have a direction to solve the case!"
Han Tuo just smiled faintly, looked up at the door, and said: "When your city's experts come, they will come to the same conclusion. Let's go, call me later if you need to record a statement."
When I pushed the door open, it felt like I was in another world.
The smell of blood still lingered in my nose, but I also smelled the fragrance of leaves in the yard. Just like his mood at the moment. There were still many people walking around in the courtyard, all of them looked frightened, and the scene was like a chaotic war. Han Tuo raised his head, but saw that there was no one behind the tree where Luo Xiao had been standing. Is it because you see too many people and avoid them?
This woman said she would wait for him, but she didn't. Under the dim street lights, Han Tuo walked slowly back home with his hands in his trouser pockets.
It was late at night when he returned to the inn. As soon as the door was opened, the noise was heard by Luo Xiao in the room upstairs.
After all, the courtyard is quiet.
Luo Xiao sat in front of the window, not moving. Through the thin paper window, you can see the figure in the yard.
But there are also people who warmly welcome Han Tuo's return.
That was Xiaomei, who was in a state of nervousness, excitement and fear all day long. She stayed awake most of the night just to wait for Han Tuo to come back and find out gossip. Seeing him walk in, he grabbed him and said, "Brother, brother! How is it? Was Xie Hua really chopped into seven or eight pieces? Was his penis also cut off and dried? Hey, hey, why don't you look at me? I'm talking to you, where are you looking?"
Han Tuo didn't bother to pay attention to her. He raised his head and glanced at Luo Xiao's window. The lights were still on, and a shadow was reflected on the window. She hasn't slept yet.
Waiting for him?
If she really slept soundly, she would be really heartless. He thought lightly with a hint of joy.
"No comment!" Han Tuo said this to Xiaomei, turned around and went upstairs.
"Oh——" Xiaomei looked at her boss's resolute figure with great resentment, and then acted cool! Who are you performing for in the middle of the night?
Just as he was complaining, he saw Han Tuo walking along the corridor on the second floor at a very fast pace. Go go go...that's not...
Xiaomei widened her eyes and covered her mouth with her fingers. She saw the boss push open Luo Xiao's door, walk in, and then close the door behind him.
Oh my god!
I knew there was something fishy going on between them!
Who would have thought that the boss, who always regarded beauty as dirt, would have such a passionate day!
——
Han Tuo pushed the door open and saw Luo Xiao sitting beside the bed. The figure is slender and the silence is endless.
Han Tuo walked behind her and wanted to hug her, but was afraid of disturbing her. Finally he sat down beside her. Then her figure trembled slightly in the light.
"Why did you leave first?" he asked in a low voice.
"There are too many people," she replied.
"Um."
“Will the police catch the murderer?”
"Yes, it's just a matter of time."
They were both silent for a while, and he tilted his head to kiss her. It was a kiss more passionate and patient than the one he had had during the day. He put his arm around her waist and held her hair with his other hand. Then her whole body was under his control, as if she had turned into a ball of water, unable to escape from his arms.
They kissed for a long time, until both of them were out of breath. He lowered his head, rested his forehead against hers, and asked softly, "Luo Xiao, do you like it?"
Luo Xiao was about to cry, she had no other answer.
"Like..." I love it to death in my lifetime. From the first moment I saw you, I met love.
There was a slight smile on his lips, and his voice became even lighter: "Then let's work hard and strive for me to kiss you every day in the future."
Luo Xiao's tears fell.
He lowered his head and rubbed his face against it: "Silly girl... why are you crying, as if I was bullying you..." When he said this, he laughed first.
What answered him was Luo Xiao's hands, silently pressing on his shoulders. Han Tuo looked up at her, then fell down along her hand and was pressed onto the bed.
Luo Xiao lowered her head, her face red and white, and she said: "I don't want forever, I just want now."
Han Tuo looked at her silently.
Looking at this girl wandering alone, this kind and brave girl, she had a resolute expression on her face. As if with the courage of a moth flying into a flame. She was completely in his arms, and he took off her T-shirt, leaving only her underwear. Just this one action seemed to have used up all her shyness and madness. Her face turned red, and then she reached out and hugged him.
Han Tuo really wanted to drink some water to moisten his dry throat. And the extremely tense body she was sitting on. She raised her head and began to kiss his neck awkwardly and foolishly. Indeed, Han Tuo really wanted to press her down under him at this moment to see if she dared to be so wild.
But Han Tuo held back. He grabbed her arm and pushed her off him. Luo Xiao's face turned even redder. They looked at each other and she turned around and was about to get out of bed. Han Tuo hugged her back, stared at her, and said word by word: "Luo Xiao, I know what you are thinking. I will not be your life-saving straw. I will only be a tree, rooted in your heart. That is the love that I, Han Tuo, want."
Luo Xiao couldn't say anything.
Finally, he held his face with his hands and uttered, "I'm sorry."
Han Tuo smiled: "Why are you apologizing? I took advantage of you." He pulled the quilt next to him, wrapped her body, and whispered: "Wow, you have a good figure. I envy my future self." Luo Xiao was finally amused by him.
He took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "Let's go. If I stay any longer, I don't know what I will do. Girl, what do you want to eat tomorrow morning?"
Luo Xiao looked up at him.
The dim lights in the room reflected each other's gentle faces.
She was silent.
He waited very patiently.
It seems like I am aware of many things, yet it seems like I know nothing.
Luo Xiao felt that she couldn't refuse him, she really couldn't.
This is the only time we meet in this life.
The only one, irresistible.
"Rice noodles... and soy milk," she said.
There was an unclear darkness surging in Han Tuo's eyes. He smiled slightly: "Okay."
When he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Luo Xiao's shadow on the ground, slender and vague. Then I caught a glimpse of the shoes on her feet. They were the common cloth shoes in the local area. She probably bought them after arriving in the ancient town. With Han Tuo's keen eyesight, he could tell the size at a glance. He was stunned for a moment, and then thought about Luo Xiao's stature and height... Han Tuomeng's heart sank, what was he doing? I laughed secretly, my occupational disease struck again.
He opened the door and left.
Only Luo Xiao was left, sitting alone in the night. Only after listening to him go downstairs and enter his room did Luo Xiao lie down with a sense of loss. There seemed to be the residual warmth of his palm on the quilt. Luo Xiao wrapped himself tightly and closed his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know whether he was sad or happy. In the end, there was only one useless thought that kept turning over and over again - how great it would be if her life had not gone astray!
If it was the innocent Luo Xiao who met Han Tuo at this time and place in this year, how wonderful it would be!
——
The next morning, the sun rose, the clouds cleared, and it was quiet and peaceful.
Han Tuo got up early as usual and prepared breakfast. There was a noise in the kitchen.
On the second floor, Luo Xiao had been sitting alone for a long time.
She heard the sound and lifted the window a little, just in time to see Han Tuo walking under the tree, his black hair covering his face.
Luo Xiao bit her lips gently.
He said he wanted to be a tree, rooted in her heart.
But she didn't know that she was staying here at this moment, as if standing on the edge of a high cliff, watching the rise and fall of the sea water below. He drove the only boat and extended his hand to invite her to come ashore. But if she's not careful, she'll be shattered to pieces.
…
Han Tuo, I also want to be a tree, climbing on the window frame that you can see when you look up.
When we meet in this life, a single glance will be eternal.
Then one day, my leaves could no longer breathe.
