C6 Homicide

After checking the ATM accounts, Liu Wen directly transferred the rent to Zhao Xiaohong.

However, just as she finished, she thought for a moment and still called Zhao Xiaohong to inform her.

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Xiaohong's trembling voice came through the phone, "Liu, Liu Wen, could, could you come over for a moment? I'm a little scared. "

It's not hard to tell from the voice that Zhao Xiaohong seemed to be frightened. Liu Wen asked anxiously, "Ms Hong, what's wrong? Did something happen? "

"A murder case has happened next door, I'm alone at home, so I'm a little scared. Can you come over to accompany me? I'm so scared! "

Zhao Xiaohong was single and lived alone in a three-bedroom house. When faced with such a situation, no matter who it was, they would still be afraid.

Liu Wen said, "OK, Ms Hong, I'll be right over."

He had been renting Zhao Xiaohong's house for a year or two. Zhao Xiaohong had been good to him, unlike other landlords, whose rent could not be delayed even for a day.

Now that Zhao Xiaohong had asked for his help, how could he possibly reject her offer?

Ten minutes later, Liu Wen arrived at Zhao Xiaohong's residential complex. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw several police cars parked in front of the residential complex.

He did not stop and walked into the district.

"What are you doing?"

Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by the guard at the entrance of the district.

A shocking incident had just occurred in the district, causing people to panic. The security measures had been greatly strengthened, so any stranger who entered or left the district would be interrogated.

"My friend lives here."

Liu Wen had to log in at the security office before he was able to enter the district.

"What a strong smell of blood!"

When they arrived at the floor of the unit, Liu Wen twitched his nose and muttered to himself. Then he walked towards the elevator.

Ding! The elevator door opened and several police officers carrying black plastic bags walked out. All of them wore white masks and had eyes full of discomfort.

Could it be that there was a corpse inside?

Liu Wen's expression didn't look too good. With his sensitive nose, he immediately sensed the abnormality. The black plastic bag was one of the sources of the blood smell.

Several police officers glanced at Liu Wen and hurried past him.

Liu Wen paused at the elevator door for a moment, then finally got on the elevator and went to the ninth floor of the building.

Zhao Xiaohong lived in 1901, across from 1902.

At this moment, the door of 1902 opened. Liu Wen got out of the elevator and took a look inside.

Inside, several police officers were investigating for evidence.

Liu Wen knocked on the door of 1901, and after four to five seconds, the door opened.

However, it wasn't Zhao Xiaohong who opened the door, but a beautiful policewoman.

"Who are you looking for?"

The policewoman frowned and asked with vigilance in her eyes.

Just as Liu Wen wanted to speak, Zhao Xiaohong's voice came from the room, "Officer Lin, he came to find me."

"Come in!"

The policewoman looked Liu Wen up and down without leaving a trace before putting him back into the house.

"Ms Hong, are you alright?"

Liu Wen walked into the room and asked casually when he saw a policeman giving a statement to Zhao Xiaohong.

"I'm fine!"

Zhao Xiaohong shook her head, but her face was pale. She was obviously frightened.

"Ms. Zhao, thank you for your cooperation! If you think of anything, if you have any new clues, you can contact me. "

The policewoman gave Zhao Xiaohong her contact information before leaving with the male police officer.

"Oh, by the way, do you live here?"

The policewoman walked to the door and took a step out. However, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Liu Wen.

"I don't live here." Liu Wen replied.

"Officer Lin, Liu Wen is my tenant. I'm a bit scared that something like that would happen next door, so I specifically called him over to accompany me."

Zhao Xiaohong explained to Liu Wen on the side.

"Yes."

The policewoman nodded, closed the door, and left.

"She doesn't suspect me, does she?"

Liu Wen smiled wryly, the way the pretty policewoman looked at him was also a bit critical.

"Liu Wen, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Xiaohong glared at Liu Wen. This joke was not funny at all. Just thinking about such a terrifying thing happening beside her made her shudder.

"Ms Hong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that."

Liu Wen quickly apologized, it seemed like this wasn't the right time to joke.

"Are you hungry? There's food in the fridge. "

Zhao Xiaohong laid on the sofa and looked up at Liu Wen.

"Not bad!"

Liu Wen smiled.

"Just wait, I'll get you something to eat."

Zhao Xiaohong saw that Liu Wen was being tactful, so she stood up and walked towards the kitchen. Not long later, a bowl of steaming hot noodles was served.

"Liu Wen, did you really get separated from your girlfriend?"

Zhao Xiaohong suddenly asked, her hands supporting her chin as she looked at Liu Wen eating the noodles.

Liu Wen answered without raising his head: "Yes!"

"Then can you stay tonight?" Zhao Xiaohong asked.

Liu Wen was stunned and couldn't help but to look up at Zhao Xiaohong.

Zhao Xiaohong was older than him by a few years. She was at the age where she was like a wolf or a tiger; could it be that she was interested in him?

"Don't misunderstand, I'm just scared and I don't dare to live alone in my home. If you don't want to stay with me, I'll go to the hotel. "

Zhao Xiaohong's face heated up as she hurriedly explained.

"Ms Hong, then where should I stay?"

Liu Wen laughed and blamed himself in his heart.

How could he be so filthy?

He was thinking of all sorts of nonsense!

"Both guest rooms are empty. You can sleep wherever you want." Zhao Xiaohong said.

At this moment, the sound of dogs barking came from outside the door.

"Woof woof!"

However, in Liu Wen's ears, it became 'Open the door!' "Quickly open the door!"

Zhao Xiaohong stood up to open the door. A golden-furred dog wagged its tail and ran in. As soon as it entered the door, it snuck up to Zhao Xiaohong's side and began to whimper. It sounded very sad and wronged.

"Alright, alright, Dajin s, your master is dead. In the future, I will raise you!"

Zhao Xiaohong squatted down and patted the dog's head.

Liu Wen put down his chopsticks, stood up and walked to Zhao Xiaohong's side. "Ms Hong, is this dog from next door?"

"That's right!"

Zhao Xiaohong nodded her head, "He's called Dajin, he's really smart. He came to visit me often, his poor master died … Oh, right, how did you know that the Dajin was raised next door? "

"I guessed."

Liu Wen casually made up an excuse.

Zhao Xiaohong did not think much of it and brought the Dajin into the house. Then, she turned around and went to the kitchen to find some food for the dog.

She thought, now that her master is dead and no one is feeding her, this dog must be hungry!

While Zhao Xiaohong was in the kitchen, Liu Wen came to the Dajin's side and asked, "Do you know who killed your master?"

Dajin turned its head towards Liu Wen as it let out a "wu wu" sound.

However, Liu Wen could understand what the Dajin was saying. After hearing it, his face became serious, and revealed a pondering expression.

Just then, Zhao Xiaohong came out of the kitchen. Seeing Liu Wen together with Dajin, she couldn't help but laugh, "You like dogs too!"

Without waiting for Liu Wen's reply, she replied, "I forgot, you have a black dog at home."

"Ms Hong, do the police know that Dajin is raised by a dog next door?" Liu Wen suddenly asked.

Zhao Xiaohong thought for a moment, then frowned. "I don't know …" Is that important? "

"Of course it's important. This dog is also a clue. If the dog was there, he would be able to remember the killer's scent." Liu Wen said.

"Then I'll call that Officer Lin from before."

Hearing Liu Wen's words, Zhao Xiaohong realized that the problem was serious. She quickly took out her phone and called the policewoman.

In a few minutes, Officer Lin came to his door again.
