Unconventional blind dates

Chapter 109 Xiao Lu, since your parents passed away ten years ago.

To be honest, we didn't gain much along the way.

Lu Li did indeed find several pieces of information that he had left behind that only he could see.

But it's mostly just nonsense.

Or it could simply be schadenfreude.

Absolutely the worst of the worst!

Lu Li found it hard to understand; it was one thing for you to mock others.

What's the point of mocking your past self?

What mistakes did I make when I was young?

Anyway, the last information was lost a hundred years ago.

Lu Li also took Li Tingchan back to Luocheng.

He had heard that Hebei was the hometown of martial arts and had indeed found a few such villages and people, but now it's just used for developing tourism and agritourism.

This is also good.

Even a scene like the one in "Kung Fu Jungle" is something Lu Li doesn't want to experience.

But after returning to Los Angeles, he realized something was wrong.

First, he kept waiting for the police to catch up with him.

But they weren't stopped at any highway intersections along the way.

It seems like there are no checkpoints at all.

They weren't even stopped when they got home.

I was a little nervous when I saw the security guard at the entrance to the underground parking garage.

If we're talking about strangers, there were indeed a few passersby chatting around, and residents coming and going.

In these days, in high-rise apartment buildings in the city, neighbors on the same floor may not even know each other, so Lu Li didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

But it's still better to be on the safe side.

He looked up at the bright sunshine, smiled, then opened the elevator door and led Li Tingchan into the elevator, following behind several other residents. He then pressed the button for the eighteenth floor.

Only the two of them went down to the eighteenth floor.

"The black BMW driven by the suspects has already entered the garage; it's definitely a man and a woman."

"They've already entered the elevator. It's going to the 18th floor. Xiao Liu and Brother Wang are also in the elevator. They'll get off on the 16th and 19th floors."

"Police have been deployed on the basement levels one and two, as well as on the ground floor. They only started guarding the entrance after they entered the elevator. The stairwell is also under control. Captain, when do we move in?"

After listening to his subordinates' report, Old Li hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Let's wait and see."

To be honest, he never expected that the suspect would be him!

Lu Li!

He's known this kid for ten years.

To be honest, he never imagined that the child would be a murderer.

And that method of killing.

It wasn't that he underestimated Lu Li.

In his mind, Lu Li was a quick-witted but rather reserved person.

But they are very good at reading the room.

In other words, if the atmosphere gets awkward, he'll act silly or even make fun of himself and keep talking to bring everyone back into the conversation.

Then, once the atmosphere warmed up, he preferred to sit quietly to the side and watch everyone chat.

I just watched.

This is a remarkably calm child.

Moreover, while he wasn't a particularly diligent student, his studies weren't bad either.

Every step after graduation, from work to everything else, went smoothly and steadily.

They won't become extremely wealthy, but they also won't go astray.

Maybe it's because of that woman?

That woman is strange.

Her household registration information cannot be found in the system at all, let alone her criminal record.

It's as if this person just appeared out of thin air.

She had left no trace in the past.

Lu Li may have gone astray because of her.

Moreover, that method of murder... if it wasn't Lu Li, then it could only have been her.

Too dangerous.

"Team leader? When do we move out?"

Startled awake, Old Li took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Wait a minute, let me make a call and see if I can trick him into opening the door."

Many of his former leaders and colleagues in the bureau knew that he knew Lu Li.

They even knew Lu Li.

After all, Lu Li could be said to have been watched by them grow up since he was a child.

He took out his phone, opened the phonebook, hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely dialed Lu Li's cell phone.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Uncle Li? What do you want? I hope it's not another blind date. You should talk to Brother Li first. He even went to work in Beijing so he wouldn't have to listen to your nagging."

Lu Li's tone didn't reveal anything wrong.

"Xiao Lu".

"Um?"

"Is there anything you'd like to say to your uncle?"

"what?"

"Xiao Lu, it's not too late to tell us now."

"Well, I wish Uncle Li a long and healthy life."

"Is there nothing else?"

"I'll treat you and your aunt to dinner another day after I'm done with my work."

".good."

After hanging up the phone, Old Li took a final, hard drag on his cigarette, then sighed.

He then stubbed out his cigarette on the trash can and ordered, "Move!"

"yes!"

Old Li looked up at the sky.

The once clear blue sky is now covered with dark clouds.

It even started to rain heavily.

He walked into the residential building.

Eighteenth floor, Lu Li's home—

"Master, what's wrong?" Li Tingchan sat obediently on the sofa, her hands on her lap like a primary school student in class.

Suddenly her eyes sharpened, and she turned to look at the door. "Master, there are many people outside, and they seem to have ill intentions. However, several of them seem quite nervous."

"Hmm? Most of them are hiding in corners, blind spots, and near the emergency staircase. There's only one person left at the door."

"fine."

Lu Li hung up the phone, just as a knock came at the door.

Old Li's voice could be heard from outside.

"Xiao Lu, are you home?"

Li Tingchan's eyes narrowed, and she reached out to grab the oil-paper umbrella placed beside her.

However, seeing Lu Li wave his hand, she withdrew her hand.

"Master, should I hide? Or should I leave first?"

"There's no need."

Lu Li didn't care at all, and even got up to open the door.

Outside the door stood Old Li, dressed in a police uniform, with no one else behind him.

Lu Li raised an eyebrow. "Uncle Li, you just finished making a phone call and you're already at my door? And wearing a police uniform? Let me make this clear, I've downloaded an anti-fraud app. I don't have the guts to do anything illegal."

Old Li stared intently into Lu Li's eyes.

Lu Li's pupils were not pure black, but rather the center of the pupil was pure black, surrounded by a faint dark brown tinge.

His expression was very calm, and there was no trace of evasion in his eyes.

Old Li suddenly said, "Little Lu, it's not too late. You can turn yourself in."

"What could you possibly do, Uncle Li? Don't scare me, I'm easily frightened." Lu Li interrupted him directly, "What did I do? I've never even parked illegally."

He paused, then said meaningfully, "Uncle Li, everything requires evidence."

Old Li: "."

That's right. Besides feeling sorry for Lu Li and wanting to help him, he also wanted to break through Lu Li's psychological defenses and put pressure on him.

Because they really have no evidence.

Yes, those people were killed.

Moreover, Lu Li happened to be in the same city when they were killed.

Firstly, they were complete strangers, having no connection whatsoever.

Secondly, there were no fingerprints, no surveillance footage, no eyewitnesses, no murder weapon found, no bloodstains, and no other traces.

So it wouldn't be wrong to say it was all a coincidence.

Old Li thought the same thing, but it was too much of a coincidence.

And this is the only clue.

So he wanted to trick Lu Li. If Lu Li slipped up, he could use that to investigate Lu Li's family and break through his psychological defenses to get him to reveal some clues.

For example, where is the weapon?

But Lu Li really didn't say anything.

Old Li didn't mention those cases because he wanted to see if Lu Li would confess without being asked.

But Lu Li never mentioned those cases.

Old Li pursed his lips, deciding to take a more sentimental approach, "Xiao Lu, I watched you grow up, and after your parents died in the line of duty ten years ago, the old director and I have always kept you in our hearts."

"Wait a minute!" Lu Li paused, then suddenly interrupted him, "Uncle Li, what happened to my parents?"

Old Li was also taken aback, then said, "They died in the line of duty ten years ago."

Lu Li felt his mind go completely blank.

How is this possible?!

His parents are perfectly healthy!

They even traveled to other places together as a couple!
