At the police station of West City District, the capital city.
In Arthur's office.
Arthur had been working on the murder case for several days. With a cigarette in his mouth, he was
reading the case file. There were many detailed files, and even if it was just a passer-by who had
nothing to do with it, he had to investigate, in case of missing any useful clues.
Sometimes, the key to solve a case was to get rid of the tiny details.
After the reform, his office was smaller than before when he was the deputy director. Usually, there
were all kinds of messy things on the table, and there were all kinds of documents, certificates and
medals in the office cabinet behind the chair.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
A quick knock on the door pulled back Arthur's soul. He raised his eyes slightly, and the rims of his
eyes were red from eyelids to eyeballs, wrapped with blood. He smiled silently, "Bettina, your hair is so
fashionable. It's almost shorter than mine. Why don't you just get a bald head?"
Bettina rolled her eyes at him and sat down on the chair opposite him. "If the case is not solved, I will
not get the long hair!"
TSK, TSK, the remnants of the feudal society!
Arthur put out the cigarette and took a big sip of the cold tea on the table. "You'll be bald in a few
years."
Two small blue veins burst out on Bettina's forehead, and she almost lost control of her hand that was
trying to murder Arthur. After making fun of Arthur, she straightened her body and said slowly, "We are
busy day and night. Can we really catch the murderer? Why did the murderer suddenly appear after all
these years? The shifting the blame is too obvious."
It was obvious that the murderer was trying to stir up trouble, but they couldn't reveal the details of the
case to the public. Before the real murderer was found, they couldn't justice for Eugene. Eugene
investigated the case like a hero for half a life, but he didn't find the murderer and even died in the end.
Arthur rubbed between his eyebrows and took out another cigarette. When he was about to light it,
Bettina pinched her nose and said in a very sharp voice, "Boss, I'm here to apply on behalf of the vast
number of refugees. Can you stop smoking? The whole criminal investigation team is full of the smell of
smoke. We have to work overtime."
Arthur's hand that was holding the lighter froze for a moment. Then he threw the lighter back on the
table, tapped the cigarette with his fingers slowly and said, "Anyway, there is no clue for the time being.
Go and inform them to have midnight snack."
"Long live our boss!"
As soon as Bettina stepped out, Lenny, who had disappeared for several days, came in, worn out. He
was still wrapped in the cold wind at midnight, and his angular face was full of deep fatigue.
Arthur's heart skipped a beat, and blue veins stood out on his forehead. As soon as he moved away
the chair, he sat down on the desk again. He glanced at Lenny and sneered, "Wow, you finally
remembered that you have a boyfriend, right? Tell me, where have you been since we last met?"
Lenny slightly moved his lips and closed the door with his long feet. Arthur became hoarse all of a
sudden. He wanted to flirt with him as if nothing had happened, but his tongue seemed to be tied up
and he did not say a word.
Outside the gate, with a group of single people, Bettina went to the most luxurious restaurant nearby.
Tonight, it was Mr. Arthur's treat.
A group of people ran away like a gust of wind. The criminal investigation team, which had been lively
just now, suddenly became quiet. If it weren't for the two men, the whole building would have been
empty.
With difficulty, Lenny walked to the sofa and sat down. The sofa had been used for many years, and its
four sides were mottled. But it looked particularly solemn here.
With his elbows supporting his knees, Lenny put his hands together and his fingertips against his
forehead, and said in a hoarse voice, "They... They began to contact me. It turned out that my mother
was not innocent... She is their woman, but she is no longer obedient, so..."
Speaking of this, Lenny spread out his palm and covered most of his face. Tiny tears rolled out from his
fingers one point one. In Arthur's eyes, it was more painful than stabbing a knife in his heart.
Arthur walked over and sat down next to Lenny. He broke his fingers one by one and said, "What are
you talking about? You are mine. I don't allow you to be against yourself like this. I am by your side
forever."
Lenny kept silent for a long time. He wiped his face and tried to calm himself down. He sat on the sofa
stiffly for a long time before he said softly, "More than thirty years ago, my mother was just an ordinary
primary school teacher. I never knew that she was married and had a child, but that child was less than
one year old. One day, a robber broke in for no reason and killed the child in front of her. Her
husband... Oh, no, her ex-husband was also hit to death by a car that rushed out of the road on the
same day. In a night, she lost her husband and child, and a complete family was instantly broken. She
fell from heaven to hell, but she did not know that it was just a beginning."
Speaking of this, Lenny paused for a moment, with an indescribable chill in his eyes. After a while, he
continued, "Later, a student reported that she had embezzled money from the school and asked for
money from the student's parents. In order to settle the matter peacefully, the school directly fired her.
She had nowhere to go and wanted to die, but my father saved him. She thought it was all a
coincidence, but finally she found that it was all designed by others. She was pushed into a lonely and
thorny path, and she didn't even have the right to die for herself. "
"What happened later?" asked Arthur.
Lenny looked at him stiffly and said, "Later she found that her dead husband actually 'returned to life'.
She finally understood that everything was a plan. At that time, she already had me, and she probably
had mercy on my father, so she learned to resist, even if the price was to take her life, and the person
who bought them off was... Hancock."
