I suddenly felt a little muddle-headed. I didn't understand why the police officer who thought that my elder sister had committed suicide would suddenly speak to me in such a manner at this moment without any evidence.
I frowned at the man in front of me. "What do you mean by that?"
The man who called himself a cop suddenly reached out to me. "Give us Su Lihua's cell phone."
"I didn't."
The man in front of me made it impossible for me to have any confidence in him. I don't remember one of the officers on the scene, which made me a little more wary of him.
The man's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of fierceness, "If you are unwilling to hand it over, then it means that you want to hide the evidence that killed Su Lihua. Since you are unwilling to cooperate, then I can only bring you back to the police station to investigate."
My feet unconsciously backed off, but the man followed me closely, step by step. His face had a layer of extremely awkward and hypocritical gentleness to it. "If you're willing to cooperate, we'll eliminate your suspicions and help you catch the murderer."
My breathing quickened, and I was extremely afraid. I could feel the malice in his eyes, "Please, please take out your police ID."
The man's eyes flickered, but he said calmly, "The police officer certificate is in the car, I forgot to take it down. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the car and take a look."
Naturally, I didn't dare to follow the man in front of me. Perhaps it was the natural instinct of a human to evade danger. I reached into my pocket and took out my phone.
My sister had always bought me the same kind of phone as her, so it was hard to tell from the outside.
The man received the phone from me and smiled in satisfaction. He didn't have any doubts about it and asked, "What's the password?"
"I don't know."
He was neither surprised nor angry at my answer, as if he were pleased with it. He put the phone in his pocket and left.
I used a casket that I bought beforehand to collect my sister's ashes. I stored her ashes away on this night when no one was paying their respects to her.
On my way home, I passed a public phone booth. I took a slip of paper from my pocket, which was a phone call from Shang Qirong before he left, so that I could call him if I found anything. I took out a coin, threw it into the phone, and dialed Shang Qirong's number.
It was around 4: 00 in the morning. Apparently, my phone call woke up Shang Qirong who was sleeping soundly. His voice was filled with a thick sense of drowsiness as he mumbled the word "Hello" in a daze.
"I am Su Mo, Su Lihua's sister. Just now, a person who called himself a police officer came to find me and asked for my sister's things. He even said that he suspected me of being the culprit. I would like to ask you, what exactly happened?"
Because of my words, Shang Qirong's voice became a lot more spirited, "Impossible, although I am an intern police officer, but I am still one of the members responsible for this case. If the department really has such a decision, how could I not know?" "Also, your sister's case has already been settled and it's impossible for such a problem to occur."
I held the microphone tightly in my hand. "That person is in his thirties. He has a tall and sturdy figure with a comb through his hair. There's a 3 cm scar on his ear. He looks a bit fierce. Is there anyone like that in your police station?"
Shang Qirong immediately replied with certainty, "No, someone must have pretended to be our man."
My heart sank, and my other hand went to my sister's phone in my pocket. There had to be something important in it. But what I need to do now is to find a way to turn on this phone.
Feeling my silence, even through the phone, I could still hear Shang Qirong's sigh. With a tone that rarely came from his age, he advised me to leave the city, saying that Su Lihua, as the leader of the Nine Palace, was in contact with the upper echelons of society. If she was really killed by someone, then the person I couldn't afford to offend would be someone I offended.
Shang Qirong told me that although he shouldn't say such depressing things as a policeman, he also didn't want to see an innocent person in trouble. Since they found me, it meant that they had already targeted me.
I hung up the phone. Although I knew that Shang Qirong's words were for my own good, I strongly wanted to choose the former when I found out that the murderer was still alive.
I walked into the house and sat alone in the dark room. I felt so lonely and scared. Ye Zichen opened his eyes helplessly.
His sister's cell phone rang again. It was still an unfamiliar number, but this time, it was different from the last two times.
I still chose to pick up the phone, not because I wasn't afraid of danger, but because I thought it would give me a better chance of finding the clue.
A very calm voice came out of the phone, without any change in tone, "You should not have this phone, it's not good for you at all. As the only family Lihua has in this world, you'd better destroy the phone and leave this place forever."
It was obvious that this person knew that the phone was in my hands, and that he was aware of my relationship with Sister Su.
Elder sister Su wouldn't easily mention me in front of outsiders, and even more importantly, she wouldn't allow me to interact with anyone. Therefore, the people who know that I exist must have a very close relationship with her, and judging from the voice, this person's age isn't considered old. I suddenly thought, could it be that the child in elder sister Su's womb is his?
"What is your relationship with my sister? Do you know very well that she didn't commit suicide at all? "
"The confusion will make you sink into your own mud. As for me and your sister, I'm just her guest."
"Du du du ~" The phone was hung up again, and the empty room became silent again.
At nine in the morning, the doorbell rang. A well-dressed man with a briefcase and glasses stood at the door, "Hello, may I ask if you are Su Mo, Miss Su? I'm Su Lihua's personal lawyer, Chu Zhiqiang. "
I let Chu Zhiqiang into the room. Lawyer Chu told me that he had brought the consent form for the payment of the life insurance premium and the consent form for the inheritance that I needed to sign.
Chu Zhiqiang said that Su Lihua had said that if anything happened to her, all her property would be handed over to me.
I knew that if I wanted to find those people, I would need to know who my sister was in contact with. With my sister's identity, the most likely place to reach them would be the nine palaces.
I made up my mind that I must find the person who killed my sister, even if I had to climb to the same position as my sister.
In the Nine Palaces, many upper-level business people trade here. That's also why the Nine Palaces isn't a place any prostitute can enter, but I still want to try it out.
Right after Lawyer Chu left, I took a taxi to the Nine Palaces. However, when I arrived at the entrance to the Nine Palaces, I was stunned. The banquet at the top location in G City was actually closed.
That symbol, which represented the most luxurious place, had also been completely removed from people's line of sight.
As for the surrounding people, no one knew the reason. They even didn't know why the place where wealth and riches gathered the day before would disappear overnight.
Yesterday, the number that forced me to hand over my phone rang again. I picked up the phone and asked the hostage, "Who the hell are you?"
He changed his voice and coldly said to me, "You actually lied to me. You're really bold. I advise you to obediently give me your phone. Otherwise, if I find you, you'll die."
"Did you kill my sister?"
The person on the phone laughed, the more he laughed, the wilder he became. Suddenly, his voice stopped, bringing with it an even more bone-piercing coldness, "A prostitute, just a lowly life, so what if I killed her? Can you find me? Can you find evidence? Do you think you'll survive even if we find evidence? Or do you think you can do anything to me now that you have all these things? "Little girl, you have to be tactful and know how much meat you have."
