The Devil is Lurking By Your Side

In the Federal Bureau, as long as no serious homicides are received, the police officers' life in the bureau will be easier, and the degree of busyness at work will be relatively reduced. In addition to doing some document work, the rest of the time will be spent on training or physical fitness activities.

When it was time for lunch, Lin Xin came to Leng Yu's office. After knocking on the door of the room, she asked, "Shall we have lunch together?"

Leng Yu buried her head in a pile of documents. After she heard Lin Xin’s invitation, she put down the pen she held in her hand, got up from the chair, slowly came to her, and said, "Let’s go. ."

The two came to the canteen of the Federal Bureau side by side. After taking the lunch away, they sat on a creamy white bench together, gently placed the lunch on the table in front of them, and bowed their heads to start eating.

"Is it too busy today?" Lin Xin asked softly after taking a bite of the bread she was holding.

"Yes. The court asked our bureau to submit a report. I just finished it. If nothing happens, Hou Qixuan will get the trial result this week." Leng Yu said as he picked up a box on the table. Milk, raised his head and took a sip.

The highest sentence of domestic first-degree murder is the death penalty, and the two knew that Hou Qixuan would definitely not escape death this time.

Even if she appealed to the court and successfully converted from the death penalty to life imprisonment, it would be useless. Hou Qixuan's life can only be spent in a dark prison. The ruthless years will consume her youth until she becomes an old man who no longer poses any threats to society.

The beginning of Hou Qixuan's love when he was 12 years old is the origin of all disasters. .

Although Lin Xin and Leng Yu did not discuss the matter publicly in the bureau, they still sympathized with the Hou sisters in private. It's just that the fact that Hou Qixuan killed people cannot be reversed, no matter how ups and downs they had experienced, but killing pays for their lives. Therefore, she could not escape the sanctions of the French Open no matter what.

While the two were eating lunch quietly, they heard a rush of footsteps not far away, and saw Mei Hua holding a magazine in her hand. She trot to the two of them and pushed the magazine. Arrived next to Lin Xin's dinner plate.

When Lin Xin took a closer look, it was a well-known entertainment gossip weekly in China.

"Lin sister, look, Chen Huawei unexpectedly announced to the major media that she would temporarily retire from the music scene!" Mei Hua pointed to the big line on the cover of the weekly, with surprise in her voice.

Meihua likes to read entertainment gossip magazines, so she knows better than anyone which singer or star announces her retirement. However, Chen Huawei’s announcement was very shocking and sudden to her. After all, she had watched Chen Huawei’s concert tour with Lin Xin and others not long ago, and no news was received at the time. Or the wind is about Chen Huawei's desire to retire from the music scene.

When Mei Hua told the news, Leng Yu, who was sitting across from Lin Xin, frowned slightly. In fact, she didn't like entertaining gossip at all.

For her, the appearance of entertainment gossip is simply a waste of her time, and she doesn’t have to care about other people’s lives. What she cares about is the relationship between herself and Lin Xin and what she faces when solving the case. Problems and challenges.

However, Leng Yu’s thoughts can’t be applied to other people anyway, because her partner Lin Xin’s eyes widened at this time, and she only heard her cry: "Is this true?! Why? So suddenly?!"

"Right? This is simply incredible!" Mei Hua agreed.

"What are you talking about? What's incredible?" At this moment, a female voice came from behind Mei Hua. When Leng Yu looked up at the person behind Mei Hua, it was Huang Lin.

She put her hand on Mei Hua's shoulder and leaned closer to see what they were talking about.

After she saw it clearly, she said lazily: "Oh, what's all the fuss about. Stars are like this. They always announce their retirement because of something, or they break up with someone because of something. Anyway, Chen Hua Wei isn't the first one, it's nothing."

"Hey, you don't understand this, you go, you go, I didn't want to discuss with you, who asked you to join in the fun?" Mei Hua rolled Huang Lin angrily, turned her head and ignored her.

"Actually, don't you think this is weird?" Lin Xin put down the bread in her hand and looked up at everyone.

"What's the matter?" Leng Yu noticed Lin Xin's vigilance and asked.

"Have you seen it clearly? It's said that the reason she announced her retirement was because her vocal cords had been damaged." Lin Xin pointed to the densely packed small print under the title, and pointed to one of the lines.

"Uh... She is a singer who often runs touring performances everywhere and sings to the audience. So, if her vocal cords really break, it should be a common occurrence, right?" Huang Lin said again.

"You don't know. You want to see, a singer pays most attention to her own voice. After all, it is the most important tool for her to make money, so she will be very careful to protect her vocal cords." Lin Xin analyzed and said.

"Sister Lin, do you mean someone broke her vocal cord on purpose?" Mei Hua asked.

Lin Xin nodded: "Yes, this news came very suddenly. Didn’t it all work well when we went to see her performance a few weeks ago? But today I saw the news that she announced her retirement, so I felt that things didn’t happen. It's not as simple as expected."

At this moment, Leng Yu, who was sitting aside, suddenly asked: "Did the content mention when her vocal cords were damaged?"

"Yes, it is mentioned here about a week ago." Lin Xin pointed to a sentence in the content again and said.

"Well, it has been three weeks since she came to Yang City to hold a tour, and her vocal cord was found to be damaged a week ago. So, what we can infer is that if someone deliberately drugged and damaged her vocal cord, then the matter It will definitely not happen in Yangshi, and the person who prescribes her medicine is likely to be her close person." Leng Yu said lightly.

"Yeah, maybe it's really a close person. As long as Chen Huawei goes wherever she goes, this person will follow wherever she goes. Even when she is not paying attention, she may be drugged in the drinking water. Yeah." Huang Lin interjected again.

"But, who can be with her all the time? Is it her assistant? Or the manager?" Mei Hua asked.

Huang Lin smiled at her slightly, then tapped her head lightly, and said: "The agent treats her as a cash cow. It is unlikely that the agent did it. The assistant has worked with her for a long time. If you want to destroy It’s destroyed, won’t you wait until now? You mean, don’t you?"

Meihua reached out and touched her head, and smiled: "That's right."

The four discussed it for a while, but they couldn't figure out the reason.

Meihua later took out the phone from his trouser pocket, flipped through some online news, and then looked up and said to them: "I just read some online news and found that netizens' speculation and comments on this matter are very polarized."

"How do you say?" Lin Xin asked.

"Netizens speculated whether it was the assistant who used drugs to harm people, while some said it was a broker, and some netizens said it was her husband next to her... However, some netizens speculated whether it was Chen Huawei who raised a lot of lovers outside. Then these lovers deliberately damaged her vocal cords because they were jealous." Mei Hua said.

"Is there such a thing?" Huang Lin leaned her head to the phone in Meihua's hand and looked down at the comments on the Internet.

She watched it for about two minutes and didn’t want to watch it. She frowned and said: “Netizens originally guessed who gave the medicine, but later everyone’s discussion was surrounded by verbal abuse. People who supported her said she was People who don’t support her will say that her private life is unscrupulous. However, the entertainment industry is a big dye tank. Everyone knows how confusing the private lives of celebrities are, so some netizens may not necessarily criticize her private life. Just hearsay."

"Oh, I actually like her. If her vocal cords really can't recover, it will be pitiful enough, and the career created by her hard work may end here." Mei Hua sighed.

"What are you sighing for? You've already got her signature, so it's a perfect ending to yourself, haha." Lin Xin teased.

"You actually got her signature? Why didn't you get me a copy?" Huang Lin stared at Mei Hua and asked.

At this time, Leng Yu suddenly asked, "What can I do with you? Do you like Chen Huawei?"

"Boss, you don't understand this. Think about it, Chen Huawei is a big star. If I get her signature, I might still be able to sell it with her signature." Huang Lin said with a smile. , The golden abacus in my heart is playing loudly.

"Huang Lin, don't forget it. Chen Huawei's signature is not someone who wants to have it. The signature we have in Meihua's hand was also given to her." Lin Xin smiled, spitting out a little bit in her words. Gossip.

"Huh? Who is so capable to get you her signature?" Huang Lin turned to ask Mei Hua.

Mei Hua's cheeks flushed, and he groaned: "It's alright, don't you guys make fun of me."

"By the way, where is Hu Zhiming now?" Lin Xin chased the plum blossoms.

"I don't know, he also has to work." Mei Hua whispered.

"Tsk tusk tusk, are you protecting him so soon?" Lin Xin asked with a smile.

Huang Lin was at a loss: "Who are you talking about?"

"The person who got Chen Huawei's signature for Meihua was with a male high school student from her previous school." Lin Xin said with a smile.

"What? Then why didn't you mention him to me?" After hearing Lin Xin's words, Huang Lin turned to look at Mei Hua, and asked her her voice unnaturally raised, and the expression in her eyes unexpectedly showed something wrong. Obviously irritable.

But Leng Yu, who was sitting quietly by the side, keenly noticed that Huang Lin was different from usual, and when his eyes rolled, he was already concerned.

"Why did I mention it to you? Make you laugh at me? Make you always say that I have bad eyesight?" Mei Hua said angrily.

After listening to Huang Lin, she suddenly stopped talking. She removed her hand from Mei Hua's shoulder, then turned her head and asked Leng Yu: "Boss, do you have anything to do for me?"

"Well, you can go directly to my office later. I will tell you some crime reports that we submitted to the court. After these jobs, you and Xiao Cheng will also start to do it." Leng Yu said seriously.

"Okay boss, then I'll go to your office first." Without looking back, he left the canteen.

Mei Hua was a little curious about her transformation, looked at her blankly, and thought to herself: It's really inexplicable.

Lin Xin didn't notice the change in the mood of the two of them. She just watched the contents of the magazine intently. After she realized that Huang Lin had already left, she asked, "Where did Huang Lin go?"

"Who knows her." Mei Hua said casually without feeling anymore.

Lin Xin nodded, then pointed to the contents of the magazine and said, "Chen Huawei will be rushing to a foreign country for medical treatment next week. According to the gossip, it is her husband who accompanied her to a foreign country for medical treatment. Two bodyguards."

"Oh, this is really bad." Mei Hua sighed again thinking of Chen Huawei.

"She not only has to go abroad for medical treatment because of the damage to her vocal cords, but she may also need to rest for a long time, and I don't know when she can return to the music scene. Alas, who on earth killed her, and why did she do it?" Lin Xin murmured a little afterwards.

"Jealous." These three words suddenly appeared in Leng Yu's mouth.

"Jealous? Are you saying that some colleagues want to harm her?" Lin Xin asked.

In the entertainment industry, peers will compete secretly, and some will even take some aggressive methods to combat their competitors. This is a common occurrence in the industry.

"No matter who it is, the person who can do this kind of thing is probably jealous of her, but what is jealous of her, this is only known by the druggiver." Leng Yu looked down at the gossip spread out in front of her. From the publication, I thought of Chen Huawei, who was popular in the spotlight.

She is so dazzling, but also so far away. For many people, she is not easy to get close to, and she is also a goddess who attracts everyone's attention.

The only thing that can only look at from a distance, but can't touch her is even a piece of clothing.

***

On the other side, in a luxurious villa deviated from the city, a woman lay reclining on her big bed, with a small notepad and a pen beside her.

A week ago, when she picked up the pen, she signed her name to the crowd, but now when she holds the pen in her hand, she can only write what she wants to say.

"If you don't work, what shall we do in the future?" The man's low voice came from the door of the room, and it was not the first time he asked.

The woman picked up the small notepad next to her, quickly wrote a few words on it, and threw it at the man.

The man was caught off guard, unable to dodge, so the notebook hit him in the chest and fell to the ground.

"You stinky lady!" Although the man cursed like this, he didn't dare to do anything, so he bent down and lowered his head to pick up the little book. Just after he took a look, his eyes instantly burst into red, as if he was about to explode.

Only a few numbers were written in the book: Wu Dongfeng, what qualifications do you little white face ask me for?

The man named Wu Dongfeng slammed the little book by the bed again. He pointed at the woman lying on the bed and yelled: "Who do you think you are? You are not the fake who is just so perfectly packaged. Face person? If you didn't climb into the boss's bed, you still have today? Also, don't pretend to be innocent with me here! Your lyrics can deceive people, but you can't deceive me! I want to be on you right now There are many people in, and there are even more people who want unspoken rules for you, but I guess you probably satisfied them one by one, right? Otherwise, you can't have today!"

When these unpleasant words broke out word by word from Wu Dongfeng's mouth, the woman didn't want to pay attention to him at all, just turned her head and looked hollowly at the blue sky outside the window.

This kind of quarrel in the room is no longer one or two days, but endless day and night. Over time, constant quarrels have gradually become a habit, and the original sparks in the hearts of the two have been worn away many years ago.
